What's wrong with my cryptoswap? (asking password twice)

I've set up encrypted partitions, and swap according to the HOWTO at:
https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/EncryptedFilesystemHowto?
portal_status_message=Welcome.+You+are+now+logged+in.
This worked long ago fine, but at some stage (Hoary upgrade? not
sure..) started to do redundant password query at login. While this
is just a nuicance (plain ENTER to the first query will do) I'm
curious as to what causes this.
Console at bootup:
Starting Ubuntu...
Enter passphrase: _ <--- this is the where-did-it-come-
from redundant query
.
.
.
Starting crypto disks: crypt (starting) ...
Enter passphrase: _
The first query comes right after GRUB menu, does anyone have a clue
what it is, and how to kill it?
-ak
From /etc/fsstab:
/dev/mapper/crypt /crypt ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/mapper/cryptoswap none swap sw 0 0
/etc/crypttab:
# <target device> <source device> <key file> <options>
#
crypt /dev/hda5
cryptoswap /dev/hda6 /dev/urandom swap
