(Get the code!)
Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, this is the expected behavior. When the binary nvidia drivers are in use, the only framebuffer we can reliably expose in the kernel is a VGA framebuffer. And VGA is 4-bit color, 640x480. So this isn't a plymouth bug.
(Further improvements are expected to the graphic used with vga16fb so that it looks crisper - but it's still going to be 640x480 with poor color depth.)
