A solution, but a bit scary:

1. If "splash" then tell fbcon it's not allowed to take over the framebuffer:

   fbcon=map:1

2. After plymouth is finished (or even when it's just started and taken over the framebuffer), tell fbcon it is allowed to use the framebuffer:

   $ con2fbmap 1 0

   This could also be done as a simple ioctl from plymouth itself.

Virtual terminals won't work until you do step 2.
