You may want to retest that. That "disappearing recovery partition" behavior for FileVault 2-encrypted Macs has been there since FV 2 was introduced in Lion.

The only way you get to the Yosemite Recovery Partition is by holding down Command-R (I wish Apple would change this back, it was quite convenient to see Recovery Partition when you held down Option, if nothing else it was one less key combination to remember :-)
