Is this repeatable? LUKS itself does not need any time to activate. LVM should not need more than fractions of a second. Meybe a thermal issue with RAM, CPU or PSU that has the password iterations fail when cold and work when warmed up? For CPU/RAM this would be strance as cold CMOS circuits work better than hot ones. For the PSU, it is possible that failing capacitors reconstiture a bit after warm up. Anyways, sounds like a hardware issue to me.

It's a LVM array.
