The partition was no longer accessible via Qubes boot process nor Qubes USB with properly set keymap. This happened after upgrade/reboot cycle, although I suspect some kind of HW issue. According to cryptsetup/luks man page, you should always have a backup of LUKS partition header as it may get corrupted. Due to some anti-forensic techniques in place such corruption is claimed to be irrecoverable. Hope that you had backups.
