It is related - as it is definitely only you who experienced it.

Actually it is quite interesting issue. Argon2 KDF uses a lot of memory
and any glitch (even one bit flip) will change it's output.
So memory failure explains what you see here.
(You should see this rarely if --type luks1 was used for format,
as LUKS1 does not use Argon2. But memory failure is just a recipe
for disaster later...)

Thanks,
