In the meantime, and if you can confirm that kbd is indeed the cause, I'll try to duplicate this and find the underlying cause.Just to let you know what I do, I boot up in text mode, ssh in and modprobe my fb driver then fbcon... I don't touch the console during that time.. if I vt switch and come back it works fine..
Does the position of the cursor before loading fbcon make a difference? Can you try positioning your cursor at the very top of the screen and at the very bottom of the screen before loading fbcon? Does it make a difference? Can you also post the window size before and after loading fbcon? Just do an stty -a before and after.
