The filesystems do get mounted before the wait, not just root but also:
[ 11.470113] EXT4-fs (dm-3): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
[ 12.150636] EXT4-fs (dm-4): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
[ 12.860956] EXT4-fs (dm-2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
maswan@bobo:~$ gunzip -c /boot/initrd. img-$(uname -r)|cpio -t|egrep 'bnx2x|libcrc32'
50910 blocks
maswan@bobo:~$
Any other ideas?
