It doesn't even crash (at least for my test), you just can't reuse the
filesystems in an install. You don't get prompted for a key and even if you
want to write over them you need to delete them and recreate them (except for
swap which you can write over), not just format them.

And since there aren't a lot of deployed systems with encrypted partitions,
not being able to do this shouldn't be a big deal this time around. So
if the anconda changes needed to make this work are too risky, then I
think leaving this functionallity for later isn't show stopper.
