All points towards a false alarm and openSUSE not shutting down 
plymouth when it's time to do so.

Or maybe it does look like an upstream issue. plymouth-quit-wait.service 
contains the following lines:

[Unit]
Description=Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit
After=rc-local.service plymouth-start.service 
systemd-user-sessions.service
Conflicts=graphical.target

If you never start graphical.target -- for example because you chose
to ln -s /lib/systemd/system/runlevel3.target default.target --, then
plymouth will be running forever. It seems like different Conflicts
need to be added, to account for these cases.

Conflicts=default.target

is not sufficient, since default will "always" point to the same
target (runlevel5 in my test case) even if one specified runlevel3
at the command line.
