The good news is I was able to reproduce the broken lines on my machine
(it has intel video) and I am sure there is a regression bug somewhere
in the X server. The bad news is I failed to notice after which upgrade
this happened.
But there is one last thing to make clear that makes me me want to delay
a little the bug reassigning.

I have absolutely no explanation why the fonts in console-setup look
good while lat1u-16.psf.gz and lat1u-08.psf.gz have always broken
horizontal lines (even without X). Can you try the following:
1. Configure the console with the fonts of console-setup. Make sure the
lines look OK.
2. setfont lat1u-16.psf.gz
3. Test the lines with toilet.
On my machine the fonts of console-setup and the fonts of console-data
are either all good or all with broken lines.
