I was bothered by this too. I solved it by upgrading to Rawhide YMMV. There are plenty of other glibc & X issues which you run into in Rawhide... Unfortunately I'm not sure which package fixed it. A colleague claimed it could be circumvented by adjusting your fonts. Try doing a setfont alt-8x8 and then make menuconfig see if the problem goes away. If you Run rawhide switching back between text consoles using a non-default setfont and X the text console will get all confused but I have a feeling that is probably the X server's fault but who knows...
