I have a temporary workaround until this issue is fixed. It seems indeed
that it occurs on encrypted home directories, so the solution is to move
the files away from that. Note that the files you move away from your
encrypted home directory are (obviously)  no longer encrypted...

Anyway, this worked for me (execute in terminal):

# 1. exit Transmission (properly exit)
killall transmission
ps aux | grep transmission | grep -v grep   # should yield nothing

# 2. move the resume directory (where transmission keeps the resume files) to a 
non-encrypted directory:
mv ~/.config/transmission/resume /tmp/transmission-resume

# 3. make a symbolic link from the original location to the new one:
ln -s /tmp/transmission-resume ~/.config/transmission/resume


Obviously, it's also a good idea to *save* these files with long file names in 
a non-encrypted directory.
