One thing I've wondered is if you were running Mavericks on the machine that had the Time Machine drive attached. In particular I'm wondering if you turned on iCloud Keychain syncing. If so the keychain item for your disk should have synced back, assuming you enabled iCloud and keychain syncing, to your new computer. You can look by opening up Keychain Access.app and looking for a password item that has the same name as the drive and the kind is "encrypted volume password". I'm sure you've already checked but just in case you haven't it's worth
looking. Cheers, Michael
