I believe I might have a workaround using Wubi and Bitlocker.
What I did was made two custom partitions on Windows. I kept a large main partition, C, and a smaller 20GB partition, S.
I activate Bitlocker and it encrypts my C drive. The other partition, S, remains un-encrypted because Bitlocker needs to place the decryption routine there.
Then I used Wubi to install Ubuntu onto the S drive. The installation went through without any problems.
The first time I rebooted, GRUB complains about not being able it's files. However, once I copied the files wbuildr and wbuildr.mbr found in C:\ to the S drive, GRUB is able to load and run Ubuntu.
There's still a bunch of error messages that come up, but they don't seem to interfere with Ubuntu or GRUB. I'm guessing the bootloader tries to access the C drive first and when it can't find the files, it'll check all other drives.
