Ok, I am able to reproduce it with Virtualbox.

The steps are as follows:
1. Create a VM with 28GB of dynamic storage (you won't use it all up, but the partitioning scheme requires that).
2. Use a mini.iso from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/installer-i386/20101020ubuntu231/images/netboot/
3. Boot the ISO with url to the preseed file (attached).
4. As part of the installation, a prompt for HDD password will appear.
5. Upon reboot you will get a box without an explanation what it's for.

The seed file is nothing fancy, just the regular LVM on LUKS.

Title:
  Splash skips text when asking for LUKS password

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When you use full-disk encryption with LVM as per the alternate
  installer or the netboot installer, during bootup you are presented
  with a text box to enter the HDD encryption password.

  On Precise this box was presented with a message to enter the password
  for the specified disk by uuid. In raring, this is no longer the case.
  There's just the box.

  If this is hardware-specific, this was tested on a Dell e6410 laptop.

  See the attachment.
