+1. I encountered this while installing Guix on my pre-existing LUKS 
volume that I share with another distro.

As a workaround to the immediate issue, I replaced my LUKS volume's 
argon2 key with a pbkdf2 key, via `cryptsetup luksAddKey --pbkdf pbkdf2 
$DEV` and `cryptsetup luksRemoveKey $DEV`. Changing cryptographic 
algorithms introduces risk, which might not be right for everyone, however.
