It does bring up some issues, though. I did have my root password, and I was able to get in using that because the root directory wasn't encrypted. Had I been using full disk encryption, I probably would have been sunk (unable to restore the encrypt-utilties, since I wouldn't have been able to log into root, which would be encrypted).
I'm pretty sure full disk encryption doesn't use ecryptfs-utils, so you would have been fine. In fact, with full disk encryption, there would have been no problem at all. You would have put in your password at boot and things would have unlocked normally.
