Incorrect colour map on shutdown

[Bruno Girin]

Binary package hint: plymouth

When shutting down, Plymouth shows the Ubuntu splash screen but the colour map of the splash screen is garbled meaning that some or all of the graphics appear in the wrong colour. The colour map is only restored during boot, just after file system checks. See attached photograph for the details.

Note that this may be hardware dependant as this only happens on my ThinkPad T42 and doesn't happen on my EeePC. However, on the T42 it happens every single time.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Shut down the machine
2. The Plymouth shutdown splash screen appears

Expected behaviour:
The shutdown splash screen is displayed with the expected colours.

Actual behaviour:
The colours in the splash screen are apparently random and result in a very messy image.
