My root= on my kernel boot line is using /dev/by-uuid/ so if the initramfs can find the root device, I'm sure it can find the /usr device from the rootfs /etc/fstab.
I've not noticed any breakage on all my system's that have a seperate /usr, apart from the message doing boot.
Don't you have a boot message saying "minilogd not found" or somesuch?
I don't see that in /var/log/boot. I do see the "/usr is not mounted. This is not supported." in /var/log/boot.
On the other hand, rc.sysinit also invokes /sbin/bootlogd, which leaves most of the interesting stuff in var/log/boot, so this would be an academic exercise ...
And this works even with a separate /var, but that is beside the point.
