Well, my opinion is I stumbled in a "race condition".

Searching the web offers as always interestings results:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.device-mapper.dm-crypt/2618

http://alt.linux.kiev.ua/releases?tid=107
'daemonize with "udevd --daemon" instead of "start_daemon --make-pidfile"
(should really fix startup race with udevsettle - #9881)'

But the most promising is:

http://guide.debianizzati.org/index.php/Udev_e_Debian

where they states
"ATTENTION: as said, /etc/udev/links.conf is only a workaround, and must be
avoided if possible. Specifically, in order to avoid conflicts and possible 
race condition, it is reccomanded to never use that file for settings which can
be created in other ways"

1 # This file does not exist. Please do not ask the debian maintainer about it.
2 # You may use it to do strange and wonderful things, at your risk.
