fbsplash is not an official Arch Linux package and is not supported by
Arch Linux. It's maintained in AUR. Please, send fbsplash related
questions or bug reports to its AUR comments.

But in this case it seems to be an issue with the AUR package
fbsplash-extras which was recently updated. So, first make sure to
having updated both packages fbsplash and fbsplash-extras to their
latest versions. If the issue persists then, please, send a comment to
the AUR page of fbsplash-extras and maybe fbsplash.
