I've noticed a similar activity, and I think I've isolated it. There is a line in the default .login that looks like this: stty status '^T' crt -tostop 'crt' resets the terminal, according to the stty man page. I commented this out and logged in on a vty and it didn't move the prompt to the bottom of the screen like it normally does. Try removing the 'crt' part and see if that gets you acceptabl results. This is from a couple of minutes of experimenting.
