I don't think this text is "from" plymouth; I think it's from systemd. TTBOMK we actually currently have no integration between systemd and plymouth, such that systemd is writing its own messages to the console; which happens to most of the time be hidden because the console is in graphical mode so you only see the plymouth splash.

What's meant to happen is that we transition from the plymouth splash to the display manager without ever putting the console back into text mode (flicker-free boot). So if we're seeing the plymouth messages, this is failing somehow. The original bug report was with the vboxdrmfb video driver. Brian, which video driver did you see this with?

(I'm not sure how the vboxdrmfb module was in use, since that is not part of the main kernel package and should not be on the live image.)

I'm not sure whether we should also be configuring systemd to not display these boot messages in the live image.
