Hmm, I thought I fixed that a while ago.

No, this is a problem in the cgsix kernel driver. Userland has nothing
to do with it.

So, did you set the RASTECONSOLE option in your kernel?
If you did please try the following:
find this piece of code in src/sys/dev/sun/cgsix.c / cg6attach():
			cg6_console_screen.sc =3D sc;
			sc->sc_fb.fb_rinfo.ri_hw =3D &cg6_console_screen;
			sc->sc_fb.fb_rinfo.ri_ops.copyrows =3D cg6_ras_copyrows;
			sc->sc_fb.fb_rinfo.ri_ops.copycols =3D cg6_ras_copycols;
			sc->sc_fb.fb_rinfo.ri_ops.erasecols =3D cg6_ras_erasecols;
			sc->sc_fb.fb_rinfo.ri_ops.eraserows =3D cg6_ras_eraserows;
			sc->sc_fb.fb_rinfo.ri_do_cursor =3D cg6_ras_do_cursor;
			cg6_ras_init(sc);
... comment out the cg6_ras_do_cursor; line and rebuild your kernel.
This will disable using the blitter to draw the cursor ( the console
driver will use inverted character attributes instead ). Please tell me
if this fixes the problem.
It shouldn't happen in -current but checking can't hurt.

have fun
