Fair point, my ECB remark was misguided. But I think the broader point stands? I did acknowledge the difficulty of dealing with IVs here.

It's the same issue that XTS faces but that operates under the fairly modest assumption that an adversary won't have long term continuous block level access to the running system. Whereas in this case interdicting the bus is one of the primary attack vectors so failing to defend against that seems inexcusable.
