I'm seeing much the same right shifting of the console while running a serial console. System is Dell T110 PowerEdge, running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. Serial Console is running on windows with the same results using either a mintty windows or a Cygwin X xterm window. It mostly seems to affect shutdown messages rather than boot messages, and, as far as I can figure out it's related to shutdown messages generated using echo -n. When the "newline" finally comes it causes a line feed but not a carriage return. The text gradually shifts right making some of it unreadable. I'm not sure this is the same problem you're seeing, but it sounds very similar.
