So if you find someone (or a group of folks) with #1 and #2 then you'll probably see it happen. If you only have one or the other it's not going to happen.

The problem with implementing this is that not only would you have to modify the bootloader to understand a new format (assuming that the splash code is in the bootloader) but you're also going to have to increase the size of the image storage area. The combination of these two likely mean remapping memory. On an already constrained device, this is likely to be impracticle. Add to that that animating a bitmap implies asynchronous processing or extending boot time, you get a ridiculous amount of complexity for the gain.
The other devices mentioned with animated bootsplashes have both larger memory spaces and different memory layouts.
As for implementing an animated splash before/after/replacing welcomehead, that's much more readily done.
