There is nothing stopping any of these components from changing the display framebuffer. The "news" here, so to speak, is that finally we'll have things working where you can avoid any buffer changes and simply start drawing on the old background.
If you want, you could have grub2/etc change the framebuffer and now that could persist up to the gdm hand-off.
