I believe nobody has responded to far, so maybe this is not a wide-spread issue. However, I have also encountered this since upgrading to R 2.12.0 (Windows 7, 64-bit). In my simulations where I use txtProgressBar(), the problem usually disappears after the bar has progressed to a certain amount, but it's quite strange nonetheless. The characters that appear are gibberish and include some Asian symbols. Here is a screenshot:
