Just to chime in that there is a "phantom text" thread running with this issue - there are a few people experiencing this.
I have been trying to isolate the problem, unsuccessfully, but it looks like assignment operators (<- or =) in a script, trigger this. It looks like whatever mechanism in the console keeps an eye on the script is grabbing things and inserting them before the prompt. I also wonder if it is only happening to people on Mountain Lion? Can someone suggest a way to get a "status shot" from the OS for R when this happens so we can help more?
