It seems that udisks doesn't tear down cleartext LUKS devices when its slave is forcibly removed, for example, by unplugging a USB drive which holds a LUKS-encrypted partition.

Re-inserting the device then yields the usual password prompt to decrypt the device, but fails to load it with a cryptsetup error:

Error unlocking device: cryptsetup exited with exit code 239: Device udisks-luks-uuid-7bdbda08-473f-41eb-9837-88a4285b1c05-uid1000 already exists.
