I can confirm that this is indeed a bug.
I will look into it soon; I am in the middle of discussing a change to
upstream cryptsetup which will also affect /etc/crypttab, and I'd like to
kill the two birds with one stone.
My current plan is to move /etc/crypttab parsing into another script
'parse-crypttab' and call this from both /etc/init.d/cryptdisks and
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd.
This means I will need to upload a new cryptsetup and provide you a
mkinitrd patch. Then initrd-tools will have to conflict with old versions
of cryptsetup.
