I have set desktop-image in theme.txt and GRUB_BACKGROUND in
/etc/default/grub to both point at the Lubuntu wallpaper file, and in my
VM testing I don't see a terminal box. It may be that it appears but
blends so nicely that it's not apparent.
But the terminal box was apparent on real hardware when I was testing
other things (before I started work on my theme), so that's why further
testing is still on my to-do list.
If the terminal box appearance seems like a problem on real hardware,
then I plan on looking at the further-refined hack nicely detailed in
Towheeds Definitive Guide. It provides more precision for the overlaid
box. See the section "Workarounds For Known Bugs - Apply a background
image to the terminal window." I think you already know about this
guide, but for general reference an archive of the guide can be
downloaded from http://ubuntuone.com/2EslXTLj5s2zzbeYKx17wJ
Setting terminal-box to a non-existent file set seemed to have the
result in the VM that the terminal box did not appear. But on real
hardware with that setting, the default black box appeared. It may be
that the VM just does not display the terminal box at all for some reason.
In any case, no, no way to truly make it not appear, but some hacks that
may be workable enough.

The terminal box is unavoidable unfortunately... however I have
'overcome this' by adding a grub background that says 'Loading' So it
at least looks decent... That terminal box is why I gave up theming
Grub.... I wish there was a way to hide it.
Does anyone here know if you are able to hid it by anymeans?

Still on my to-do list:
_ Lubuntu icon
_ LightDM shade of white?
_ Test on other hardware to see if an ugly terminal box appears
_ Install script
AFAIK, you can't style unselected boot menu items, so there is a
limit to matching with the LightDM login screen.

I have some other things on the to-do list also, but I would be
happy not only to have a Lubuntu icon, but also to know what shade
of white is used in the LightDM login box.
