Looks like a simple configuration change is needed:

grub-install: error: attempt to install to encrypted disk without cryptodisk enabled. Set `GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=1' in file `/etc/default/grub'..

summary: - attempting install to crypto LUKS w/ win 8.1 GPT UEFI can't install GRUB
- yet??
+ grub can't install on LUKS without /boot partition, which is not needed
