(Get the code!)
Since this issue does not affect a test machine with nouveaufb, and plymouth disables use of the drm backend by default on nouveau, I tried both forcing nouveau with drm and testing intel without it (by moving drm.so aside). On nouveau I still get a smooth transition from grub to plymouth, with either drm or framebuffer backends. On intel with the framebuffer backend, plymouth thinks it's rendering but the screen is *blank* until I switch the console from graphics mode to text mode and back (either with a double VT switch, or by double-tapping Esc).
So I think this points to a bug in the intel kernel driver.
