In my patchset (which I plan to send a new revision later today, I think I
still need to rebase it) this is handled by using the *real* snapshot
parent inode.  If we're decrypting/encrypting a name for a snapshot that
starts with a '_' character, we first find the parent inode for that
snapshot and only do the operation if that parent is encrypted.

In the other email I suggested that we could prevent enabling encryption
in a directory when there are snapshots above in the hierarchy.  But now
that I think more about it, it won't solve any problem because you could
create those snapshots later and then you would still need to handle these
(non-encrypted) "_name_xxxx" snapshots anyway.
