May I ask for some help here to have it in a way that it would actually help someone to understand the new feature?

So I followed John's comments and looked at the stuff more thoroughly. First of all, you probably want to reference commit b975afc7 instead of ^this one, since that has the actual bugzilla on it + the other 2 patches in that series did some necessary preparations. After reading the bugzilla and going through the code, it truly is a bugfix rather than an improvement and my wording would simply be: When creating a storage volume based on another volume, the base input volume is allowed to be encrypted. I don't have any further comments, since you already got some from Peter. Erik
