I don't think it's a problem with the backport specifically. To be
honest, i'm not even 100% sure it is that patch. It was just the only
patch that touched that code recently so it seemed likely. I didn't
do builds to check for sure.

"tty0" in the past and "tty1" now

See the other (3.11) thread for my initial message, but basically
plymouth had code something like this pseudocode:
/* disable splash if there are serial consoles */
if (!contents_of_file_equals("/sys/class/tty/console/active", "tty0")) {
disable_splash_and_force_verbose_messages();
}
since the file started saying tty1 that code started disabling the
splash for everyone in rawhide.
