I don't disagree with Geert's statement (the console was switching when the console fonts got loaded during system initialization), but the problem no longer exists in 2.6.23-rc5. Weird. N.B.: it could have been fixed in 2.6.23-rc4, but I didn't try that kernel. In any event, I'll quit looking for the cause unless the problem recurs :-).
