Plymouth-0.9.0 issue with Arch Linux

Hi All,
I maintain the Plymouth package for Arch Linux (AUR only) and am having
problems getting 0.9.0 to work with Arch. 0.8.8 worked perfectly, but
with 0.9.0, upon boot, Plymouth is falling back to a text splash only.
This is happening with intel and nouveau drivers (KMS - drm renderer)
and efi-framebuffer (frame-buffer renderer).
Enabling debugging is not giving me much information (debug log
attached) as it get as far as opening the frame-buffer renderer and then
ends there, although I do get quite a lot of debug messages scrolling
past during boot (much more than is being logged).
Compiling works without a problem, and installing to the initrd is also
working as expected (inspecting the initrd, all files are present and in
the correct locations).
Some build info for you:
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -ludev" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
--exec-prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--libdir=/usr/lib \
--libexecdir=/usr/lib \
--sbindir=/usr/bin \
--enable-systemd-integration \
--enable-drm \
--enable-tracing \
--enable-pango \
--with-release-file=/etc/os-release \
--with-logo=/usr/share/plymouth/arch-logo.png \
--with-background-color=0x000000 \
--with-background-start-color-stop=0x000000 \
--with-background-end-color-stop=0x4D4D4D \
--without-rhgb-compat-link \
--without-system-root-install
pango 1.36.3-2
libdrm 2.4.54-1
systemd 212-3
linux 3.14.4
The only patches applied are to a couple of helper scripts. One of which
adds the Arch specific initrd generation code (patches attached).
In-case they may help, I have also attached the kernel hook and install
scripts.
I have just done a reboot to try and see some more of the debug
messages, and while the attached log states it has opened the
frame-buffer renderer, I see the following on screen:
found device /sys/devices/platform/efi-framebuffer.0/graphics/fb0
device is initialised
device doesn't have a seat tag
found device /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fbcon
it's not initialised
Creating non-graphical seat, since there's no suitable graphics hardware
All help greatly appreciated as I do not want to update the Arch package
from 0.8.8 to 0.9.0 if I cannot get it working.
Thanks in advance.
Lachlan.
