An extension could fix this -- something like GGIConsoleOverlay;
it could take over the console as a text visual, and allow/request 
fbcon to render portions of the console during graphics, like it 
does without linvtsw or in aalib/monotext's case, draw portions 
of the console in ASCII text over the image.

Of course then you have to deal with potential syslog messages
and other cruft appearing on the console.
