[Bug 2039557] [NEW] TPMFDE installation fails for autoinstall

Public bug reported:

When installing Ubuntu 23.10.1 using the new ubuntu-desktop-installer with an autoinstall config and TPMFDE storage layout, the installation completes successfully but upon reboot is unable to unlock the disk.
Note this is the FIXED ISO (16/10/2023) after the earlier issue with malicious translations.

Instead I am prompted for the recovery key, which I am unable to acquire
before rebooting into the newly installed system

Below is the autoinstall config used

```
#cloud-config
autoinstall:
  version: 1
  interactive-sections:
    - keyboard
    - network
  locale: en_GB.UTF-8
  keyboard:
    layout: gb
  kernel:
    flavor: generic
  apt:
    geoip: true
    preserve_sources_list: false
    primary:
      - arches: [default]
        uri: 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu'
  identity:
    hostname: unassigned-hostname
    username: redacted
    realname: redacted
    password: 'redacted'
  ssh:
    install-server: true
    authorized-keys: []
    allow-pw: true
  storage:
    grub:
      reorder_uefi: false
    layout:
      name: hybrid
      encrypted: yes
  user-data:
    timezone: Europe/London
```
