What version of plymouth?  Note we never show a boot splash if there's
a serial console active, so I wouldn't be surprised if the the
"splashscreen not shown" is just that.

I believe xen uses /dev/xvc0 or /dev/hvc0 for the console instead of
say /dev/tty1 so that could be a complication.  Things should work
though.

What's the output of /sys/class/tty/console/active what about
/proc/cmdline? Have you been able to get a debug log ?
