I have another laptop that works perfectly with the same external screen. Also Bookworm, both up to date, same configurations for Plymouth, initramfs and grub. I checked the initramfs content and couldn't detect a difference related to the display.

The laptop with the issue is a Thinkpad X1 gen6, with a 2560x1440 display. The laptop that works fine is a Dell Latitude 7490, 1920x1080 screen.

A difference in behavior is that the Latitude shows the same thing on both screens: I can see the LUKS entry field and my input on the external screen too.

On the X1 however, the external screen has a fixed image with no input field. The laptop screen is truncated so I can't see the input field, but I assume it's present (I can enter the LUKS password just fine). So it seems Plymouth displays different things on both screens. On Bullseye it didn't behave this way: both screen showed the same thing on the X1 too, with no truncation on the laptop screen.

Suggestions on how to troubleshoot this welcomed ;)
