I have one crypto partition which has a passpharse, and in which the
root and other partitions sit:
$ grep -v \# /etc/fstab
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
/dev/mapper/main-root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=a185909b-61be-4776-849b-f91242a80e71 /boot ext4
defaults 0 2
/dev/mapper/main-home /home ext4 defaults 0 2
/dev/mapper/main-usr /usr ext4 defaults 0 2
/dev/mapper/main-var /var ext4 defaults 0 2
/dev/mapper/cryptoswap none swap sw 0 0
/dev/mapper/cryptotmp /tmp ext2 defaults 0 2
It is happening when decrypting that partition.

This was happening with 0.8.1-1ubuntu1, and is now happening with:
$ apt-cache policy plymouth
plymouth:
Installed: 0.8.1-1ubuntu3
Candidate: 0.8.1-1ubuntu3
Version table:
*** 0.8.1-1ubuntu3 0

I haven't changed boot options. My /boot/grub/grub.cfg has:
menuentry "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-18-generic" --class ubuntu
--class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
recordfail
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,6)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set a185909b-61be-4776-849b-f91242a80e71
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.32-18-generic root=/dev/mapper/main-root
ro quiet splash
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-18-generic
}
... which was presumably put there at the last kernel update.

The prompt is graphical.
When I updated, safe-upgraded again, and rebooted just now, the
passphrase did not drop characters. However
the system didn't finish booting (stuck in "waiting for /tmp"). When I
rebooted again, it again dropped keystrokes, but I
was able to log in and this time it was not waiting for /tmp. I don't
know if the two things are related.
