FWIW, I reported a occurrence of nearly the exact same thing a couple versions back (I think the first time the new console was in ... 107?). It happened during a "make config" and I was holding down return to fly down to the changes I wanted to make... Screen was "half-shifted" like you describe, then a hard reboot. Some filesystem peculiarities also accompanied this, but they seem unrelated.
