nope, you're wrong. i am *sure* the problem doesn't come from X. I have two i386, both running on current. Both have a different video card (a s3 and a nvidia) and both run different X servers (XF86_S3 v 3.3.6 for the s3 and 4.2.0 for the nvidia). Before i upgraded the pc with the s3 to current, i had 7 80x50 terminals and was running out of the box. I upgraded to current (to test merino's code on wsmouse) and i had the problem you reported.
So the bug is in the wscons code wich doesn't refresh the screen.

Anyway, i said i am sure, but would be pleased to be wrong ;-)
(i will be looking at the code of wscons, and also looking at diffs between 1.5.2 and -current)

bye
