@PhobosK seems the seat tag is missing from your fb0 hence plymouth ignores it. Quoting (and trimming) your log:
create_seats_for_subsystem:found device /sys/devices/platform/uvesafb.0/graphics/fb0
create_seats_for_subsystem:device is initialized
create_seats_for_subsystem:device doesn't have a seat tag

So it is pretty normal you see no splash. Can you unpack your initramfs and double check the seats rules are included? In the case of dracut that was a bug and it has been fixed. Are you currently using dracut or genkernel to generate the initramfs?

To me, at least about your case (which seems different from what others reported on this bug), is not a plymouth bug. Something is going wrong in the initramfs and th device is not tagged as a seat.
