plymouthd crashed with SIGSEGV in script_obj_deref_direct()

[penalvch]

I initially created a file /etc/xorg.conf with a typo in Driver and restarted:
Section "Device"
   Identifier "Intel Graphics"
   Drive "Intel"
   Option "DRI" "False"
EndSection

which naturally brought me to a blinking cursor in the top left. After booting into recovery mode, fixing the typo, and restarting, a plymouth crash notification appeared.
