However, I need this line (don't I?).
Not saying you don't :-)  However, if this particular line is really causing the
cursor problem, you can workaround it by doing an stty cols <value> rows <value>
immediately after.

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.
