I've bisected this down to a single upstream commit. At the moment I'm at a complete loss how this commit has any effect on the display of text.
commit 3f8bd998dcc6d592ffd5d3aefad06f0bbf28a725 Author: Ray Strode <[email protected]> Date: Fri Jun 8 16:52:29 2012 -0400 script: seed random number generator Most splash plugins that use random numbers seed the random number generator with the current time, but script fails, too.

On Precise this box was presented with a message to enter the password for the specified disk by uuid. In raring, this is no longer the case. There's just the box. If this is hardware-specific, this was tested on a Dell e6410 laptop.
