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?
