Ah right, plymouthd isn't started yet when you're dropped into the
initramfs shell, so you'll need to start it manually:
`/scripts/init-premount/plymouth`.

Are you able to reproduce this in a Debian system?  I just fired a fresh
& minimal sid VM with cryptsetup-initramfs 2:2.0.4-2 and plymouth
0.9.3-3 and

    root at kvm-23941:~# cat /etc/crypttab 
    root_crypt UUID=69498061-2e79-48a3-b637-655690cb4d16 none luks
    root at kvm-23941:~# cat /etc/fstab 
    /dev/vda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 2
    UUID=67d6c067-545f-40e5-8f7d-e852e2490f0a none swap sw 0 0
    UUID=9945b9d7-bade-4df5-bd7c-8822a1a37274 / ext4 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto 0 0
    root at kvm-23941:~# cat /proc/cmdline 
    BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.17.0-3-amd64 root=UUID=9945b9d7-bade-4df5-bd7c-8822a1a37274 ro quiet splash

In that VM I only get the plymouth prompt (if I remove ‘splash’ I get a
single console prompt).

Are you sure the first (dummy) prompt comes from `/scripts/local-top/cryptroot`,
and not from another initramfs script?  What is being prompted exactly?

Also, your busybox doesn't seem to include fold(1), unlike the one from
buster.  But that's most likely unrelated.
