Follow-up Comment #2, bug #33229 (project grub): I consider this a bug in truecrypt. mbr gap is for usage exclusively by bootloader, not for storing keys. (Having TrueCrypt bootloader there is another story). Also the sector 62 is pretty loved by boot viruses and some malwarelike DRMware (e.g. FlexLM). MBR gap isn't for valuable data but only for system code. BTW as to necessity of Reed-Solomon: it's necessary exactly because of malwarelike DRMware and misstorage controllers.
