This looks to be a bug in plymouth terminal handling.  Specifically it
appears that seat->terminal may be null and we should avoid attempting
to instantiate a text terminal on it in this case.

The attached patch gets us past this issue and up to lightdm.  I am
unsure if the splash is actually working correctly with it.

I have applied this patch for testing and pushed updated binaries to the
PPA below:

    https://launchpad.net/~apw/+archive/ubuntu/lp1371651

If anyone affected by this could install these and test to see if they
resolve the issue.
