This bug was nagging me after I installed an encrypted cswap partition with cryptsetup (similarly to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto3#head-1b6a9c96dc5706575dae9a86a09e15df06dbb97a) . For some reason, I had the resume file unknowingly. In this case, the cswap UUID is randomly different after each reboot, and therefore the file /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume containing the UUID is never the expected one after the next boot. To make the splash screen show up again during boot, I just deleted the resume file, and ran an update-initramfs -u.
