The fix for the plymouth problems is still in progress and will hopefully be resolved in the next few days; it's a deep issue that's been taking up all the time of one of our developers to get to the bottom of.
I certainly agree with you that we want to get the ATI KMS bug fixed also, but I'm not sure if anyone on the kernel team has a handle on it to do anything besides blacklisting this card in the driver. Best if you follow up to that bug report separately.
