Follow-up Comment #4, bug #43604 (project grub):

Ah, grub uses RTS/CTS flow control, but the VT510 uses DTR/DSR.
I though these kind of issues were fixed before I was born (not kidding). Oh
well.

More info:

The weird thing is, multiple sources state that linux does not support
DTR/DSR, only RST/CTS, yet my VT510 seems completely happy with it... Sending
the exact same ascii art from a linux shell just works.

The terminal settings menu is explained here:
http://www.vt100.net/docs/vt510-rm/chapter2#S2.9.7
it is set to 'DSR' and 'DTR' (not 'Both', so I know that software flow control
is *not* used).
