Another thing - if I boot with "quiet" removed (but "splash" in place),
it appears to get to initramfs every time.  Sometimes the screen will
briefly blank (flash) and it will return me to the kernel messages,
hanging right after the hard drive has been discovered.  I assume that
it is here waiting for me to input my passphrase, and that usplash was
supposed to to the prompting.  This is probably the counterpart of when
only the blinking cursor is shown.

Sometimes it won't briefly blank, but at that moment instead go into a
state where the screen is flashing with turquoise bars and solid red.

I've tried inputting my passphrase blindly (when it doesn't go into
flashing mode) but it doesn't continue booting - I assume usplash is
taking care of keyboard input as well and that it doesn't work.

Status in “usplash” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: usplash

Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Alpha 1 on the Asus EeePC 701 with integrated Intel GMA 900.

On shutdown, the screen flashes with corrupted graphics, before flashing red. Finally, the Ubuntu shutdown progress bar appears before the machine turns off.
(see attached video (H.264)).

This is not 100% reproducible, but happens on the majority of shutdowns.

On startup, the progess indicator becomes corrupted (see attached video (H.264)).
