Sorry, I thought my report included more information than it did.
This is the actual commit that fixed it for me:

    https://github.com/cyberitsolutions/bootstrap2020/commit/af75998

The behaviour I see is that plymouth shows a splash screen, but
it uses the fallback "text" theme, with the "█ █ █" three rectangles,
with a spinner on a Tango dark grey background (#2E3436).

When plymouthd.conf contains no \n\n sequences, I see the correct bgrt theme,
with an animated spinner (white circle on black background).

Let me see if I make a full test recipe... hrm, not easily.
I will instead include the "before" and "after" ramdisks and kernel.
...hrm, they're 40MB each, not really suitable for email.

The actual images are identical except for the plymouthd.conf and some 
fontconfig cache files.
That suggests the problem is inside the plymouthd C code itself.

OK here's a script (attached) that should reliably show
1) working behaviour; then
2) failing behaviour.
