It's to do with the optimisation of the display for low baud rates. BAUD is
initiliased from the terminal driver which may well have it set to
something low like 38400. Try setting it to something much larger, or
unsetting BAUD altogether.
It's probably more trouble than it's worth nowadays; the number of serial
line terminals, or even remote terminals where it's worth optimising the
terminal handling, is probably quite limited. Maybe it shouldn't be set by
default.
