Still experiencing it, too. I have the text boot splash, not the graphical logo one.
My description from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/529230/comments/9 still stands.
I use "quiet splash nomodeset" in the grub linux line, because KMS doesn't work with my graphics adapter (Radeon HD 4200, it throws me in textmode at startup though ctrl-alt-f7 works, but after going to standby and back /dev/sda gives errors on every read. I tried to look for bugs related to my HD4200, but couldn't find ANY in LP.)
Oh, and when I turn off the computer the last thing I see is text telling me that plymouth was shut down with the kill signal. I think that is new. On reboot apport tells me that plymouthd didn't properly stop and wants to report it, but then says it's https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/537262
