here's a possibility:
/sys/src/cmd/auth/factotum/util.c:648: readcons(char *prompt, char *def, int raw)
interprets 0x7F when it reads /dev/cons in raw mode.
i suspect that something (presumably via /sys/src/9/boot)
is causing factotum to prompt for a key but for
some reason factotum's prompt isn't appearing.

the system is at home and i'm not. but i tried typing a variety
of things at it and nothing had any effect until del. it could
be coincidence. it did respond to ^T^Tp but i didn't note the
results down. kfs and factotum were running.
i'll do further experiments.
