I updated the BIOS to the latest version per your request. Upon
rebooting, the aforementioned bug is still occurring. Specifically when
I get to the LUKS decryption part of booting up
(http://i.stack.imgur.com/0yaNi.png - not mine specifically, but I'm
talking about that prompt), when I try typing in my password to decrypt
the volume, nothing shows up in the text box. No input seems to be
handled at all.

Here is the output you requested (after the BIOS update):

ryan@r6578-G75VW:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
[sudo] password for ryan: 
G75VW.223
