@ rileinc
Yes, currently that is not supported. But it should be easy to add. bug 1046779 is related, although talks about a different scenario. Please file separate, new bugs instead commenting on the closed bugs.

Title:
  Desktop installer should have an encrypted LVM option

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Wishlist

  The normal "desktop" installer should have an option like the
  alternate CD's "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM".
  You only have to read /. or listen to the news to hear about a
  gazillion lost laptops with confidential data on them.  I'd guess that
  many/most users will never bother with the alternate installer, since
  the normal (and recommended) desktop CD gives you a two-fer (LiveCD
  and install) when downloaded and burned.  Thus they will not be aware
  of this great option.

  And when you go to fix this, see also:
