This might be curses "optimalization". mc liked to do something similar when scrolling: it was both inefficient delete N lines implementation in kernel (which did it line-by-line) and [miss-]optimalization by curses.
Don't look at tgafb. This is most probably not tga specific. Look at output from mutt for "insert N characters" escape sequence.
