This occurs with the 19.27.1 emacs package off ftp.freebsd.org, too. I was just about ready to compile 19.28 to see if it fixed that problem. As you explained, cons25 has trouble moving the cursor to the first column. But if I invoke it with -nw under X (xterm) it works fine. Like you, I would expect that there is something not right with the cons25 termcap, but have no other programs that exhibit the same trouble to prove that with.
