A little followup.

Today i bought another 750GB HDD, and a 500GB.

Initializing the encryption of the 500GB finished a minute ago and the
same bug, of course with a different size (357702MB), was observable.

Workaround also worked in this case (Now its 476937MB). This also proves
that the bug is of recent nature, the last 500GB HDD i bought was just
over a month ago and this bug didn't show up then.
