FWIW, I've been seeing this problem for ages, but have always considered 
it entertaining as something of a Stargate fan.  I typically see just one 
character corruption in the common case:

CreeBSD/i386 (whatever.whomever) (ttyd0)
login:

However, my theory has been that we have a problem when we reset serial 
ports on last close.  I.e., just before getty is respawned and launches 
login.
