Last week I had a try at it using qemu. The results were a bit
demoralizing; stripping splashy down to the bare minimum of just a
splash screen also produced the same results. 

There is one report however (From Micael biebl) that it works, maybe it
is related to the fact that he is using upstart...

Michael, could you verify you get problems when using sysvinit?
