Confirming, with some additional details:

I have encrypted both my /home and swap, using the new options directly in the installer in Gutsy. On boot, the passphrase for swap is correctly asked within the context of usplash, and the boot continues graphically. However, when the time comes to boot /home, it breaks usplash and drops to text-mode as described. After inputting the passphrase, boot continues in text-mode.

Additionally, it should be noted that in the usplash prompt for swap, is specifies the volume the passphrase is being requested for (in my case embarrass-swap_crypt), but at the text mode prompt it simply says "Enter LUKS passphrase" (iirc), with NO indication anywhere on the screen of what volume it is for. If a use had encrypted more volumes than just swap and /home, they would therefore have to either a) be using the same passphrase for all volumes, or b) have memorized the order of mounting in the boot sequence.
