Well - then it seems like this feature has changed status from a "nice to have" to a "must have".
Therefore, I've just put together an unofficial 1.3.3 version with an updated descriptor making it a pre-boot HID device. Computers with a reasonably modern BIOS supporting USB keboards at startup should therefore detect and enumerate the Yubikey at POST stage.
I beleive this fixes the issue but as I'm not a TrueCrypt guy, I'm not the right one to test it in its intended context. Guinea pig candidates who intend to use TrueCrypt at startup are therefore welcome to ask for a 1.3.3 Yubikey. I can send out a few in beginning of the coming week with priority mail.
Please send an e-mail to jakob at yubico dot com and I'll ensure that the keys get sent right away, free of charge. Although I can probably back-track orders via our shipping guys to get a delivery address it really helps if you supply your delivery mail address.
With the best regards,

Hi Jakob, after listening to Steve Gibson's SecurityNow podcast, I made the purchase. I received my yubikey today, but it has been flashed with firmware 1.3.2. I need version 1.3.3 as the key was purchased to work with Truecrypt full disk encryption.
Can the device be flashed with new firmware? If not, can you send me a replacement? However you want to do this, let me know. I'll forward on my order details to your email for reference.
Many thanks for such a great device,
Jim
