I have now gone even further, I copied the statically linked
executable from http://luks.endorphin.org/dm-crypt and started to use
that, now.

I completely agree, this *is* critical. To say that loud and clear, if
you are currently in Feisty and have encrypted partitions for which
you need cryptsetup,

    DON'T UPGRADE TO GUTSY

unless you think you master this bug. In particular, keep a live cd
arround.
