Thank your for your fast answer. The blinking cursor bug is a duplicate of bug 201591 and is caused by a recent regression with latest ubuntu kernel and vesafb. However, before I mark this bug as a duplicate, can you remove vga=795 from your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and test if usplash works correctly without vesafb?
