Ubuntu 18.04 is still affected with a blank test installation.
Please update the bugtracker entry to reflect this.

I would be really happy if this could be fixed, it's been 5 years and this breaks using RAID with dm-crypt :(

Steps to reproduce:

- Install via network installer, create the following partition layout manually:
{sda1, sdb1} -> md RAID1 -> btrs -> /boot
{sda2, sdb2} -> md RAID1 -> dm-crypt -> btrfs -> /

- After the system is installed and confirmed as working, shutdown and remove sdb

- Boot will now hang at "Begin: Waiting for encrypted source device ...". That will timeout eventually and drop to an initramfs shell, complaining that the disk doesn't exist.
