[xubuntu-users] Disk encryption boot oddity

I encrypted the hard disk of my Dell D810 when installing 15.10 and it's
been working fine -- with one oddity: when I give the encryption
passphrase at boot time, I get two messages at the bottom of the screen:
cryptsetup: unknown fstype, bad password or options?
cryptsetup: sda5_crypt set up successfully
It then proceeds to boot normally without error. My disk layout is:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
udev 1013792 0 1013792 0% /dev
tmpfs 206268 5940 200328 3% /run
/dev/dm-1 75506800 56022024 15626140 79% /
tmpfs 1031332 18412 1012920 2% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5120 4 5116 1% /run/lock
tmpfs 1031332 0 1031332 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda1 240972 145562 82969 64% /boot
cgmfs 100 0 100 0% /run/cgmanager/fs
tmpfs 206268 12 206256 1% /run/user/1000
As it works, it's not really important, but I'm curious to know why it
thinks it's an unknown fstype when it clearly isn't. It's also a message
which would obviously cause a newcomer to get worried, which is usually
A Bad Thing...
