It's a bug in handling the hardware cursor.  There's an open PR on
this.  Ted Lemon's raster-console changes correctly code turned off
the cursor before stealing the graphics display away from the
PROM. THe rcons code doesn't.  I haven't had time to even turn on a
3100 and start looking.

If someone wanted to look at this and suggest a fix to pm.c, that
would be really really neat.
