Anyone else seeing a stack of newline chars expressed at boot?

I have only been seeing this in the last few weeks. Perhaps ten days or
so. When I see the nice beastie on the console I then get each second
delay expressed with a newline thus :

  |                                         |
  +-----------------------------------------+
    Autoboot in 10 seconds. [Space] to pause
    Autoboot in 9 seconds. [Space] to pause
    Autoboot in 8 seconds. [Space] to pause
    Autoboot in 7 seconds. [Space] to pause
    Autoboot in 6 seconds. [Space] to pause
    Autoboot in 5 seconds. [Space] to pause
    Autoboot in 4 seconds. [Space] to pause
    Autoboot in 3 seconds. [Space] to pause
    Autoboot in 2 seconds. [Space] to pause

Seems odd.

Curious if anyone else sees this?
