Basically plymouth has VT issues and can't run on vt7 after all.
We're trying to get that fixed upstream atm
** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu Lucid)
Status: Incomplete => Triaged

- on shutdown from X, splash screen is corrupted, partially overlaid on console
messages

Importance: Unknown
Status: Unknown
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: plymouth
+ There are various issues with plymouth running on VT7:
- When shutting down from X, the splash screen is corrupted; only part of
- the Ubuntu logo is displayed, and it's rendered on top of a screen full
- of boot-time console messages. When shutting down from the console, I
- don't appear to have this problem.
+ - VT switching doesn't work as you'd expect; it behaves as if plymouth
+ is both on VT1 and VT7, and you can get yourself in a situation where
+ you can't get back
- I'm using the intel X driver with KMS on an i945GM chip.
+ - console messages can appear over top of plymouth
