Sigh. Had just made my way through 17.03 Calamares' setup, keeping my 2TB HDD untouched, but replacing my existing MBR partition table on my 250 GB SSD with GPT, & creating these new partitions in place of my current structure:
/sda1 = 205 MB fat32 EFI, mount /boot/efi, flag esp
/sda2 = 40 GB ext4 root, unencrypted
/sda3 = ~167 GB luks /home, encrypted (i picked ext4, but once i ticked Encrypted box, Calamares changed it to luks]
24 GB unformatted spare, right at end.
Only moments after i told it to proceed with installation, it failed, with error:
So i intuit the answer is "Calamares can encrypt, except that it can't". Fabulous, just fabulous...

Quote:Installation Failed
The installer failed to create file system on partition /dev/sda3.
Command: cryptsetup -s 512 --batch-mode --force-password luksFormat /dev/sda3
