Bug Description
Ubuntu offers to install the rootfs into an encrypted LVM physical volume (PV).
Adding a second encrypted PV to the volume group that contains the root filesystem makes the initrd drop into the busybox shell.
doing the cryptsetup, lvm pvscan and lvm vgchange -ay manually allows the system to continue to boot.
(Ideally the initrd should try to use the entered passphrase on all candidates, that would allow to extend the VG without having to enter multiple passphrases on each boot, but even entering the passphrases manually for each device is better then dropping into the sh and entering the commands manually.)

Btw, being able to extend the storage space easily is one of the purposes of LVM.
And having a volume group that is only partly encrypted would make the LUKS setup pointless.
