You used loop-AES-v2 mount and losetup binaries with version 3 key file.
Number of lines in key file determine on-disk format: 1 line == v1 format,
64 lines == v2 format, 65 lines == v3 format. Mount from loop-AES-v2 did not
userstand v3 on-disk format and set ip up in v2 format anyway. Mount from
loop-AES-v3 detected v3 format key file and used v3 on-disk format. It was
not compatible as you noticed.
This is explained in README section 7.
Type "losetup /dev/loop0" and it says multi-key-v2

Yes.
