After becoming the primary contact for the eCryptfs kernel code, I've
slowly been doing this. That's sort of how I came across this problem.
Keep in mind that filename encryption is pretty new and 2.6.29 is the
first release it will be in.

This is very much needed! Especially with filename encryption.
ecryptfs-stat exists in the ecryptfs-utils package, but it doesn't have
too much functionality yet. I'll open a couple bugs against
ecryptfs-stat and subscribe you so that you can stay updated.
