Tested your workaround:

1. Modified /etc/usplash.conf (xres=1024; yres=768)
2. Modified /boot/grub/menu.lst (vga=795 and then 792)
3. Performed rest of steps

Results:

795 results in video error:

"Undefined video mode number: 31b"
"Press <ENTER> to see video modes ..."

792 results in expected usplash.

I've also successfully used vga=0x0365 and xres=1400, yres=900.

Adding fbcon to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules fixes the blank ttys bug (Bug 129910), and may confuse others trying to fix just this one.
