Hi, thanks for reporting this bug.

When a lookup happens, we lookup the plaintext name in the lower file system. If it isn't found and file name encryption is enabled, we encrypt the file name and look that up in the lower file system.

Commit 21edad32205e97dc7ccb81a85234c77e760364c8 introduced a regression where only the plaintext file name is used, no matter if file name encryption is enabled or not. This patch was released in 2.6.36-rc1.
