No, I've already done all that (as was indicated in my original post).
I'll tell you the same thing I told Mark Randelhoff:

>Placing the pcvt font before the ibm font in /etc/wscons.conf did *not*
fix the problem.  I still get the top half of an 8x16 font in 80x50 mode,
and garbage in 80x50bf mode.

same vertical line garbage I reported initially, but this time (after
switching to my X vt and back) the space characters are actually blank, and
the other characters are either solid boxes or a group of evenly-spaced
vertical lines (in the pattern "* * * ** ").
