I guess problem with starting up lightdm after plymouth is in
misconfiguration.

$ cat /etc/init/lightdm.conf

... SKIPPED ...

script
    if [ -n "$UPSTART_EVENTS" ]
    then
	[ ! -f /etc/X11/default-display-manager -o "$(cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2>/dev/null)" = "/usr/bin/lightdm" -o "$(cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2>/dev/null)" = "/usr/sbin/lightdm" ] || { stop; exit 0; }

	if [ "$RUNLEVEL" = S -o "$RUNLEVEL" = 1 ]
	then
	    # Single-user mode
	    plymouth quit || :
	    exit 0
	fi
    fi

    exec lightdm
end script

... SKIPPED ...


It checks  if there is "/usr/bin/lightdm" or "/usr/sbin/lightdm" in /etc/X11/default-display-manager, but in my case it's "lightdm" in that file:

$ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
lightdm
