So I followed John's comments and looked at the stuff more thoroughly. First of
all, you probably want to reference commit b975afc7 instead of ^this one, since
that has the actual bugzilla on it + the other 2 patches in that series did
some necessary preparations. After reading the bugzilla and going through the
code, it truly is a bugfix rather than an improvement and my wording would
simply be:

When creating a storage volume based on another volume, the base input volume
is allowed to be encrypted.

I don't have any further comments, since you already got some from Peter.
