Does the position of the cursor before loading fbcon make a difference?

Can you try positioning your cursor at the very top of the screen and
at the very bottom of the screen before loading fbcon? Does it make a difference?

Can you also post the window size before and after loading fbcon?  Just do an
stty -a before and after.
