My stack is LUKS -> LVM -> BTRFS (seems the same as you) and I can boot
just fine.  I have read through the ticket, and must admit I am bit
confused what does not work.  Could you share what you configuration
(config.scm) and layout partition layout look like?  Maybe also whether
you are using BIOS or UEFI?

Thanks
