Hi Roert,
I know it cannot work if you encrypt your whole $HOME directory, but there is no reason it should not work if you have only one encrypted directory ("Private" it is called, I am not sure now whether it is the default or my name) in your otherwise unencrypted directory. It worked in Maverick after all.

So I think the bug is that assumption that .encryptfs means encrypted $HOME directory is invalid. Therefore, the check should be more intelligent, but I have no idea how to do that:-).
