could it be that somehow thread synchronization is the cause? I'm connecting it to the general plymouth bug that is particularly noticeable in plymouth/nvidia interaction, the low chance of a desktop; as there when viewing the log messages, at times they are brief / few, at times there are more messages, it seems that possibly a successful boot is when there are more messages?
