That's a good suggestion, except I don't see any way to do that in the
/etc/default/grub I have.

The closest thing I see is

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

but that says it's for grub-pc only, i.e. the "legacy" version of grub,
whereas I'm running grub2.

A bit of Googling suggests that

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

also supports a value of 'text' rather than a FOOxBAR resolution, but I
don't see that documented anywhere yet.

I don't expect such a change to be particularly risky, but I imagine if
I do somehow fail to boot after making it (e.g. if I specify a setting
that isn't actually supported), the solution would involve a live-boot
environment and possibly chrooting into the installed system.

It isn't.

From the little I've read up on regarding this in the meantime, I'd
expect this splash setting to be only regarding the post-GRUB-menu boot
process, which is beyond the point I've reached. For what it's worth,
I've long since intentionally disabled all "quiet" boot settings I'm
aware of.

I'm not even getting to the GRUB command line; the hang is happening
before GRUB displays anything at all.

I may try specifying a resolution such as this to GRUB_GFXMODE, but I'm
not entirely certain that's relevant to the behavior I'm seeing,
although it would be plausible for it to be so.
