Appears to not be fixed with plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu1 and mountall 2.14. A message is briefly displayed on the screen about a bad filesystem and a root shell being launched.... but then the screen resolution changes, and a root shell appears, with a blank space about the prompt. The actual message is barely a flicker, so users are dumped into a root prompt with effectively no explaination.
