Yes, changing cons25 terminfo entry is no option.
The creating of completely new terminfo entry is also no option,
as it means the new entry would be unknown on all other systems.
Moreover it would need changes to some other packages, at least sysvinit.

For the record, I tested new kernel image in the shell
and in jstar(joe) editor, it worked fine.
The jstar is linked to ***libncurses*** :-(

I propose revert changes in kernel and kbdcontrol and ask for ignore tag
for this "technology preview" release.
