This is a rather old bug, so who knows if this still matters to anyone....

But as a workaround, I've found that if you use:

osdctl -s 'foo,'

i.e., you add a comma (which translates to a newline) to the end of the
string, the extra garbage won't be printed.  And it's not always the previous
message.  In fact, on my system it's typically some substring of a font
specification, though it's sometimes part of the previous message.
Presumably some careless checking of string boundaries or something.
