If this bug ships as 'stable' there will be people quite justifiably screaming about it, and I believe it would make Debian look bad. It is a nasty bug, happens at boot time, can render a system temporarily (or maybe completely, depending on number of cryptsetup volumes) unusable. If I were a sysadmin and it appeared on my server after an upgrade or fresh installation of jessie, I would go right back to the prior release or to another distro.

Hi Gordon,
To the best of my knowledge, this bug is caused by the absence of
plymouth and has been documented in the release-notes[1]. If installing
plymouth does not solve the issue for you, we might be looking at a
different bug.
Thanks,
