Found it. It's a bug in fbcon.c where the rows and cols were mixed up so fbcon_resize tries to set the mode again with xres and yres reversed. Didn't happen during boot as fbcon_state_manager is registered after the console is taken over.
Good catch. I merged that in my tree (I use a different version of the client notification mecanism though, I don't like much the version that James pushed). Since James vanished, I intend to take the most obvious bug fixes and driver updates from his tree into mine, test them, and then submit them one by one to Andrew Morton for 2.6.x inclusion. I do not intend, at least in a first step, to take the sysfs stuffs as the structure lifetime changes are fairly invasive and happened to break a bunch of things. Once all the rest is merged up, we can look into it again in more detail, isolated from the other bunch of changes.
