This is nothing to do with curses.  I got it too after upgrading the
xen vmm (but with the same recent dom0 kernel as previously).

For me, when the xen kernel started it kicked the vga into 50-line
mode.  I presumed the resulting mess on the dom0 console was as a
result of it mapping the memory as if it were still in 25-line mode,
but I haven't yet looked any further.
