Given that Lucid's total boot times have decreased to 9-15 seconds on the average modern system, that the splash screen is only on screen for a fraction of this time, and that the end-user will ultimately spend more time indulging the eye-candy of the desktop, I think this is a very low priority issue.
In terms of my direct opinion over the low-res splash, I think the issue is more over the low colour depth rather than the low resolution. If it were an 8-bit depth, I think most people would overlook the low pixel resolution.
