This is the same "VGA pattern": 07200720 is two spaces. 

It causes lots of trouble, too bad it made it into -rc2. It has nothing to 
do with ext4.

And I bet it gets fix by the same vt.c patch that apparently fixed some 
KMS issues. Look on lkml for a "poison overwritten" subject line.

Or just revert 962400e8fd29981a7b166e463dd143b6ac6a3e76.
