Strange, I would not expect writing to the console have any effect on
swapfiles. Does this mean Vim crashes? If you are using MinGW, perhaps
you can use gdb to see what happens.
A workaround would be that when not running the GUI make :echoconsole
behave like :echomsg. In eval.c, ex_execute.c, change:
if (eap->cmdidx == CMD_echomsg)
into:
if (eap->cmdidx == CMD_echomsg || (eap->cmdidx == CMD_echoconsole &&
!gui.in_use))
You may have to add an #ifdef.
