ok, I just rebooted both and I have to make it clear:

there are 2 kind of different behavioral ways it can manifest itself:

1) the splash works fine (progress bar is continually going from left to
right) then it prompts for password, after being entered it switches to
console (text; black background and white text) output and shows the
password on / after the cryptsetup line -> nice progress but security
risk

2) the splash doesn't work (progressbar pretty fast goes from left to right and 
stays there on the right, no progress is being visualized) [this also happened 
before this problem with the password so it's also a specific bug / problem 
with the splash/usplash]
after some time disc activity stalls and doesn't go on, I found out that at 
that point it prompts for the password but doesn't show it so after having 
entered the password and having pressed the [Enter] button it goes straight to 
the gdm screen (not switching to console/text output) with /home | the 
encrypted partition mounted
-> bad aesthetics but secure hard to tell what to do for non-experienced users

-- 
the password entered during boot for an encrypted partition (e.g. /home) is 
shown in plain text after having entered it (behind usplash)
