That's... very odd. What it should be running (and what I think it actually is running) is

  plymouth ask-for-password --prompt "Unlocking the disk /dev/sda5 (crypt_sda5)\nEnter passphrase:" | /sbin/cryptsetup -T 1 luksOpen /dev/sda5 crypt_sda5

but for whatever reason the two commands are being interleaved here in the output of sh -x?

Anyway, if this command is hanging, I think it must be a plymouth bug. I'll try to reproduce it here.
