Attached is a short cameraphone video showing the behavior in question on a T60 where I can also reproduce it. The same result is seen whether plymouth is in the initramfs or not (i.e., it's reproducible on a test install that does not use cryptsetup), only the timing is different.
Andy has asked whether the clear to black might be related to a mode switch. The mode *looks* the same to me between grub and plymouth, but I don't know for sure.
