I've tracked the bug down to this call in ubuntu-spinner-fsck.patch:

+        server->fsck_progress_fd =
+                ply_listen_to_unix_socket ("/run/systemd/fsck.progress",
+                                           PLY_UNIX_SOCKET_TYPE_CONCRETE);

Specifically it's the call to bind() that delays the splash. listen()
has nothing to do with it and the same bug occurs even if you skip the
listen(). I'm not yet sure though if it's the bind() that's blocking
(sub-one-second if at all) or if it's the existence of the bound socket
causing systemd to participate and *that* is what's indirectly delaying
the splash.

I have commented out ply_boot_server_on_new_fsck_progress_connection in
all tests as it has no influence on whether the bug occurs or not.

Bug description:
  In Questing we no longer have all-graphical splash screens prior to
  the login screen. There is an fsck "clean" message on the console
  causing the system to switch to text mode during boot.

  This is a regression of bug 1970069 in 25.10, which was fully resolved
  in 24.04.
