It's not easy to debug as it only happens reproducibly on very certain setups.
For instance, it no longer shows up on my system where I originally debugged
the issue for a while, I'll also removed plymouth from all systems I have
access to meanwhile. I recommend everyone to do the same, it's an extremely
annoying and unreliable piece of software.

There's currently work ongoing to drop plymouth from openSUSE and replace it
with a different kernel-based bootsplash that is free from race conditions.

Still, I adjusted the title and reassigned it to the plymouth maintainer.
