Ahh, this could very likely be the difference.  I use dm-crypt on all
my filesystems, so a very similar situation: my initramfs first mounts
my root filesystem, and then chroot's into it.  The mount call from
userspace is likely the difference.

I would suggest to try and duplicate it with an initrd/initramfs, and
if it goes away, file a bug at bugs.kernel.org.  They might refuse a
bug report with -ck sources, so you might have to report it with the
maintainer of the -ck sources, or switch to vanilla for the testing.
But either way it seems like a kernel bug to me...
