Aha! Thanks for the excellent detective work.

Absolutely, automatic mounting of encrypted ~/Private cannot work with
automatic logins.

Mounting of encrypted ~/Private requires you to enter your password at
login. If you have not done so, the required key is not present, and
thus it will not be mountable.

As I'm a Server Developer (no gui, no automatic logins there), I'll
need to have a discussion with the Desktop guys to collaborate on a
way to solve this.

Thanks,
