Yes.  Lots of stuff makes that assumption, almost all of it
unjustifiedly.

That's almost certainly it.

This looks a _lot_ like seven-bit X3.64 escape sequences with the ESC
characters stripped out.

In particular, CSI 6 n (ESC [ being the seven-bit version of CSI) means
"please report current cursor position" and CSI [ (row) ; (col) H is
cursor motion.

Or (preferably, I would say) a bootloader that doesn't make stupid
assumptions about the "terminal" it's talking to. :(
