Does the splash screen render correctly except for this?
The problem here is that some widescreen displays, when asked to render VGA
(640x480), do so by rendering the full *width* of the display, at the
expense of not having the full *height* rendered on the screen. I think by
all rights this should be considered a BIOS bug (and you may have a setting
in your BIOS that lets you adjust this), but I tried to take this into
account when fixing bug #540685. Had this not been the case, the entire
input box (and part of the passphrase prompt) would have been off the bottom
of your screen...

I don't know why this would be when it's working at boot. Please file a new
bug report using 'ubuntu-bug plymouth' about this issue.
