May I quote from the readme of loop-aes:

  Recommended key setup mode is multi-key-v3, which is based on gpg
  encrypted key files. In this mode, the passphrase is protected against
  optimized dictionary attacks via salting and key iteration of
  gpg. Passphrase length should be 20 characters or more.

Obviously you are not using this mode and thus you get the same
ciphertext.
