You are right - 1.1 and 1.2 are two symptoms of one problem.

Unfortunately there is no right time for this - there is no script that
is run after one has switched to a console. I suppose that if you
switch to the console, run setupcon, then go again to X and return back
to the console, the bottom 3 lines will be cut again. So you will have
to run "setupcon" again.
The FAQ mentions
Option "VBERestore" "true"
when one is using the i810 driver. Maybe there is some similar option
for the Nvidia driver?
