I am seeing the same thing. plymouthd doesn't hang around after every
boot, but it does so a reasonably large percentage of the time.
Additionally, when plymouthd continues to run after boot, machine
shutdown hangs for a long time before completing (presumably some kind
of systemd timeout).
Running strace against plymouthd when it's stuck causes it to exit
normally.
