Have you tried configuring the partition with a
random key, and then setting "Use as" of the encrypted
partition to e.g. "ext2" ?
The installer should take care of setting the fstab/
crypttab flags as appropriate for tmp.
If that doesn't work, it would indicate a bug we need
to fix in partman-crypto. It is supposed to work for
both loop-AES and dm-crypt.
