The question is: if you boot the system without the plymouth splash screen,
can you still recreate this bug at boot time.

Ok, so it sounds like the bug is not reproducible.

It's unlikely to cause any system crashes once you've finished booting.
Probably there is a buggy optional service package installed on your system
which is waiting on the keyboard and blocking the boot when it shouldn't.
If you have the console-tools or console-common package installed, you might
be seeing bug #881079:
