It has been quite some time since I experienced this bug frequently. I can't remember animation details and I have never tried ESC there.
This bug affects my production machine. I am very pleased, so far, by the workaround to comment out "quiet splash" in /etc/default/grub and then "sudo update-grub". The workaround has never failed.
Do you have a test machine where you can reproduce this problem?
If not, I can reset to "quiet splash" and wait and hope I am in front of my machine at the critical point.

Please let me know.
