cryptsetup was uploaded lately, which might have had an influence on
such things. If only the recent kernel is affected, that might be
because the other initramfs wasn't rebuilt. You could toy around
downgrading cryptsetup and rebuilding the initramfs (only for the
affected kernel) through update-initramfs, to confirm or infirm.

Changes in cryptsetup:
