Public bug reported:

20.04.1 Encrypted LVM install, sda4 > LUKSv2 > VG > LVs

cryptsetup creates LUKSv2 containers. GRUB can only understand LUKSv1
and therefore cannot access its root device making the installation
unbootable.

Making matters worse, installer has not added GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y
to /etc/default/grub.d/local.cfg so grub-install hasn't passed the
crypto device info to GRUB's core and thus there is no cryptomount
command in /EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg
