Can't connect to the camera when encrypted #3

Hi there,
I am not sure if this is the correct place to report, but I discovered an issue with the combination of using OmniROM 8.1 (I tried at least the last 5 weeklys) on my OPO and the camera, as soon as I activate smartphone encryption.
Following all recommendations I could find to solve the "Can't connect to the camera" error (clear cache & data of camera apps; checking for hardware problems; proper flashing of Omnirom; ...), this is the final conclusion I can provide. Both cameras (and the flash light) don't work, as soon as the phone is encrypted.

I finally verified this by the following procedure:

  1. completely delete & decrypt phone using latest TWRP
  2. Flash OmniROM (and SuperSU)
  3. Start the phone & verify that the cameras work (they do)
  4. Encrypt the phone
  5. Verify that the cameras work (they don't)
