And to eliminate any other change on the system as a cause, I rebuilt 
initrd.img for both packages and the plymouth LUKS screen failure was 
seen *only* for linux-image-4.16.0-1-amd64:

update-initramfs -u -k 4.15.0-3-amd64
update-initramfs -u -k 4.16.0-1-amd64

Installed kernel packages are:

linux-image-4.15.0-3-amd64 4.15.17-1
linux-image-4.16.0-1-amd64 4.16.5-1

Kind regards,
