Bug#1065570: Interface border is replaced by ascii chars



The machine is PXE booted with the kernel parameters: initrd=debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz ip=dhcp auto=enable language=en country=US locale=en_US.UTF-8 keymap=ansi hostname=debian domain="" url=tftp://10.0.0.1/preseed.cfg

Console is accessed over VGA. VMSVGA for the VirtualBox tests we've ran and a VGA KVM for the tests on bare metal.

On every test we've ran of the Debian installation process, there's a visual bug that occurs late in the installation process. Effectively, the border of the progress interface turns into Çâö repeatedly. You can see an image of it in the issue here https://github.com/xeluior/genisys/issues/82
