I don't think this is a bug, and AFAIK it has been like this for some time.
The image is not shown if the frame seems to be too small.
See use-fancy-splash-screens-p.

OK, I see.

Though use-fancy-splash-screens-p is not strictly correct on this.

If  I force it to use splash screen:

(defun use-fancy-splash-screens-p () t)

And examine these values of the splash screen on the initial startup 

frame:

(window-pixel-height)

 => 476

(cdr (window-text-pixel-size

      (selected-window) nil nil nil nil t)) ; include mode-line

 => 462

it has plenty room for display.
