This has been fixed internally in initfs-diablo.
The fix will soon be available in a public update for Diablo.

Quoting:
"It appears that we have a kernel bug in drivers/char/random.c. In the
meantime, the driver has been somewhat modified and cleaned-up in mainline;
mainline version does not have the bug.

The kernel bug causes seeding data written to /dev/random or /dev/urandom to
*not* affect the produced random numbers in any way."
