That's odd though. I misspoke when I said shortly before F10, it was shortly
before the F9 release that it started using passphrases against each
luks partition. Maybe there was something different about how your
partitions were setup that F9 couldn't handle, but F10 can.

You can see that the passphrases aren't being saved (well at least that
saved ones aren't bing used) by entering an incorrect passphrase before
a correct one. You'll then get a warning message for each luks partition
that there is no key slot unlocked by that passphrase.
