This is a fresh install. I do make a LiveCD using scripted tools. But
it pretty much is a vanilla FreeBSD install with just some packages
preinstalled (webserver, php, etc). The only relevant changes I think
are a change to /etc/ttys. But when I revert the file back to the
defaults, the problem stays. I thought that perhaps Virtualbox had
something to do with it, but it seems to happen on a real system as
well.

Some of you asked for the environmental settings. Using 'env' the
output begins with:

-- on console --
TERM=cons25
SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash

-- via SSH --
TERM=xterm
SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash

Via SSH the ee editor works as it should. On the console it is bugged.
