LUKS-encrypted devices no longer automatically mounted?

In Fedora 9, and (IIRC) in Fedora 10 alpha, when a device with a
LUKS-encrypted partition is plugged in, HAL prompted for the
passphrase, and the encrypted partition is opened and mounted.

This does not seem to work anymore: I have to manually call cryptsetup
luksOpen <device> <name>, and then HAL detects the new partition in
/dev/mapper/<name> and mount it.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Will file a bug against hal if this
can be confirmed.
