--- Comment #1 from Felix Palmen <felix at palmen-it.de> ---
I now tested the same with loader.efi from 13.0-RC2, and the effect is slightly
different. First, I noticed a dash is also among the echoed characters, so this
looks a lot like scattered remains of an "ascii spinner" mixed in.

With the newer loader.efi, instead of replacing random characters with any of
[/-|\], these characters are inserted now.

For example, when I type "boot", I might get the following on loader's prompt:

12.2: bo/t
13.0: bo/ot
