hey - i've got a workaround that I use, but not a fix.

ive set up an encrypted partition on /dev/hdb3

to get it to ask for the password when gnome loads up (and mount it then), ive taken the reference to it out of /etc/fstab, and included it into /etc/pmount.allow

then in the gnome startup programs (preferences>sessions>startup programs) ive added:
gnome-terminal -e "pmount /dev/hdb3"

so the LUKS password prompt shows up each time gnome starts, and mounts the disk. i prefer this anyway to a password prompt half way through boot up.

not a fix, though, but it might help someone.
