I rebuilt the initrd using mkinitrd but it made no difference - so I guess
that when the next kernel update is released it will also be the same?

I also tried suspending the machine but it would not come out of suspend and
I had to reboot.

Oh well having to enter the luks passphrases twice is not too much of a burden!
