Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve Ubuntu.

What is the exact text that appears on your screen before plymouth starts? There should never be any text from fsck; plymouth is started from the root filesystem before mountall is started, and mountall drives all the fsck handling at boot.

plymouth will not be added back to the initramfs by default because it is not needed there and it slows down the boot overall. Anything that results in text output prior to plymouth starting when the 'quiet' boot option is used is buggy, and those components should be fixed.
