Confirmed in Xubuntu 12.10.
Leaving out the brackets does not solve the issue. I thought this was an
issue with special characters however:
Composing a password exclusively from special characters works fine...
E.g., !@#$%^&*()_+
Adding a regular character to the above string is also fine but the
second regular character triggers the bug.
!@#$%^&*()_+1 = 'Strong password'
!@#$%^&*()_+11 = 'Short password'
And as the original submitter mentioned any strong password that becomes 'short' will fail to unlock the volume with the error:
'cryptsetup: cryptsetup failed, bad password or options?'

Title:
Lubuntu full disk encryption password quality check on installation is
confused by (
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Installing from lubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso in VirtualBox, select
Encrypt the new Ubuntu Installation... When entering the security key
is requested, and as one types it a quality indicator appears to the
right of the input box
Adding an open bracket to a strong password, however, seems to confuse
the quality checker, for instance:
Entered Displayed
abcab weak
abcab1 fair
abcab12 good
abcab12#$ strong
abcab12#$( short
Furthermore, after using the final password, I am not able to mount
the installation, as it complains of a bad passphrase.
