Comment (by behdad):

 Ok I worked with Egmont and he's going to submit the kernel "fix" to lkml
 soonish.  Here is the fix that can be easily turned into a patch:

 """below the "Glyph not found" comment
 change this:

 if (!(vc->vc_utf && !vc->vc_disp_ctrl) && !(c & ~charmask)) {

 to this:

 if ((!(vc->vc_utf && !vc->vc_disp_ctrl) || c < 128) && !(c & ~charmask)) {
 """
