Ok, so I changed the console definition in /etc/ttys from
console "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  vt100   on secure
to
console "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200"  vt100   on secure
and then rebooted the system.

As of then, all kernel messages are garbled, but the login-prompt appears normally 
(with the terminal emulator running on 115200 baud). When issue a reboot command, 
the shutdown-message is printed as garbled text again.

So it's not a hardware limitation (running the login-prompt on 115200 baud does 
not present a problem).

Maybe a problem in the driver?
