Can't boot off of encrypted volume with Linux 5.3-rc4

I'm testing out a mainline kernel to see if it fixes some hardware issues
I'm having with my laptop (X1 Carbon gen 7) but I'm finding that booting
any of the 5.3-rc's results in an error that seems to be related to
encryption.  To clarify, 5.0 from the disco repositories boots fine, as
does 5.2.6 from the mainline series.

When I boot 5.3-rc4 the splash screen that normally asks for my password to
decrypt the volume instead reports:
====
cryptsetup: Waiting for encrypted source device UUID=7de...
====

and if I switch back to a virtual console I see these three lines repeated:
====
WARNING: Filed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.
Volume group "ubuntu-vg" not found
Cannot process volume group ubuntu-vg
====

I'm posting two files as well to provide context:

/etc/crypttab
====
nvme0n1p3_crypt UUID=7de0b924-cbc0-4b11-b683-14be7b468a9a none luks,discard
====

and
/etc/fstab
====
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

As far as I know I haven't done anything to mess with the configuration of
the initramfs or cryptsetup, all of this should be the default from install.

Any help would be appreciated.
