IIRC, the help text of the cryptoloop kernel feature says that you are
not supposed to use it with journaling file systems like ext3 and
ReiserFS, because this can lead to problems.  You shall use dm-crypt
[1] instead.  Maybe this is the cause? 

I don't know whether Reiser4 is to be seen as a journaling fs here.

[1]: you can setup encrypted volumes using
<URL:http://clemens.endorphin.org/LUKS/>, given that your kernel has
support for them ofc.  I used only the old version
<URL:http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/> so far, but it worked fine.
(ReiserFS v3 on encrypted volumes, which are automatically mounted and
umounted on log-in.
