Thet problem is in libdevampper library (which is common for cryptsetup and lvm).
(cryptsetup itself does not use semaphores at all)

Just to verify that udev handling is correct, can you paste output of
grep dmsetup /lib/udev/rules.d/* ?

Hm. Is there some page describing what it is doing?
(Of course on my system it works with chromium running without problem...)
