I was able to fix this with the following:
* In /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf, comment out "blacklist
vesafb" and add "blacklist vga16fb"
* In /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, add fbcon and vesafb
* Run initramfs-update -u
With that, I get a working Plymouth with the proprietary Nvidia drivers
installed. I also added the 'vga=' line to the kernel commandline in
grub, not sure that's necessary or not though.
