Looks like some other filesystems were not cleanly unmounted. Could it be related ?

I hope that somebody or bodies can tell me what to do to make this computer usable again -- short of having to do a completely new installation.
It depends what you mean by "usable".If you just want to complete the init process, then comment out the /home line in /etc/fstab.
The first things you want to do is to check that /dev/md* exist and are active, and check the keyboard layout by typing the passphrases in cleartext.
If you don't care about the data on that drive, wipe it and do a fresh install. If you do care and don't have a backup
Then you are a fool. Encryption means "I prefer losing the data than having it disclosed". I guess you didn't make a backup of the master key or the LUKS header with cryptsetup ?
