Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve
Ubuntu.
The spinning animation doesn't indicate a plymouth bug; plymouth itself
is running, it just hasn't been instructed to stop. Nor is the
ureadahead failure typically a bug (though it's a bug that the message
is displayed), and would not stop the boot from continuing.
Is it possible that the delay is caused by a running disk fsck, and that
we're failing to display a message for this when using the text
fallback? (Just a shot in the dark - if it were an fsck, rebooting
should put you right back into an fsck...) How often does this happen?
Can you try uninstalling the binary nvidia drivers to test whether this
is reproducible with the KMS driver? Can you also test whether it's
reproducible when not passing 'splash' on the kernel commandline?
