Hi,
I can report the issue is solved for me on Oneiric. This leads me to believe this issue is related to #563878, which is also fixed for me. With the fix, the boot no longer hangs (and looks nicer).
Thanks.

Title:
  50% of the time, boot hangs on Natty

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  I have an encrypted setup that was initiated by the guided install.
  About 50% of the time, when I boot, I get a plain purple screen that
  never resolves into the "enter password" screen to unencrypt the disk.
  This makes the system unbootable.

  Turning off at this point and then restarting usually presents the
  grub menu and selecting the default entry manually by pressing enter
  has, so far, always resolved in a successful boot.

  My hardware is a Toshiba C650 series laptop.
