At boot-time the splash-screen takes it's resolution from /etc/usplash.conf, *which is in the initramfs image* !
At boot the root-filesystem is changed from the initramfs to the real-root.
Your system is on the real-root.
On shutdown, the splash-screen takes it's resolution, again, from /etc/usplash.conf.
But this is now the /etc/usplash on the real-root... Which is a different file from the one in the initramfs...

Make sure they are both the same; /etc/usplash.conf in your initramfs and the /etc/usplash.conf on your root.fs.
This link from "caravel" points to a table of resolutions,modes and numbers for more info.
