I'm still seeing this using 81-0ubuntu3.

I generally leave my private folder unmounted.

My workaround has been just to comment out the pam_ecryptfs.so line in
/etc/pam.d/common-auth

How can I help troubleshoot this?  I don't see any pertinent messages in
syslog, nor when running gnome-screensaver in debug mode.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

Where the unlock dialog appears for a user to enter their password when they return from suspend, hibernate or switching back from another user being logged in, the dialog hangs at "Checking..." when the password is entered. This happens when the Private folder has been unmounted using the "ecryptfs-umount-private" command and then either suspend, hibernate or switch users is returned from.

If the Private folder is mounted before leaving, then the "Checking..." message only appears for a couple of seconds and the desktop appears.

A few bits of info:
