How? 1510730 is about a crash when doing a useless edit that happens to be a crypto partition, this bug is about there being no way to use a crypto partition at all (regardless of the crash, that's easy enough to work around).

FWIW the work around for this bug ended up being:
 * accept the guided encrypted+lvm layout
 * do normal install
 * boot off usb disk
 * shrink ext4 + LV
 * create new LV + FS I wanted (btrfs)
 * "rsync -PavH --delete .../old/ .../new/"
 * edit fstab
 * delete old fs/LV
 * resize new LV + btrfs reboot

The workaround for 1510730 is simply not to edit the crypto partition a second time.
