I am affected by the very same bug in 16.10. I have hybrid virtual/dulaboot system - a physical encrypted partition + dedicated ESP that is bootable on bare metal from UEFI and able to load either Ubuntu or Windows; or bootable via VirtualBox using dedicated ESP and UEFI boot.

- In case of bare metal everything boots properly and password can be entered

- In case of booting in virtualbox boot stucks in LUKS password phase. Any attempt to type is immediately echoed in text-mode over Plymouth graphical screen (top left corner) and submit with enter doesn't work. If I edit kernel GRUB's Ubuntu entry and remove these specific lines:

load_video
gfxmode ...

and remove following from kernel commandline: splash $vt.handoff

it boots in text mode, I am able to enter keyphrase and it boots just fine.
