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.
