This bug is caused by a bug in Plymouth's kernel command line parsing, causing it to see "splash" on the kernel command line and thus think it's been asked to show a splash screen when "nosplash" or any other string containing "splash" as a substring appears on the command line. I've attached a patch that fixes the way plymouth looks for keywords in the kernel command line.
