Since I don't work much with TDE, I consulted my MVP mates. One them 
brought up this:

   Sounds like a long-running transaction is preventing log truncation and 
   the log wrapping. IIRC the encryption_state won't switch to 2 until the 
   log wraps.
   
   That would also account for the increasing backup size - as more and 
   more log needs to be included in the backup because of the long-running 
   transaction.
   
   All from memory - so could be incorrect about the TDE thing. Ask him to 
   check log_reuse_wait_desc and DBCC OPENTRAN.

Is this applicable to your situation?
