I was able to reproduce this issue with a previous hardy kernel, 2.6.24-23.52, and can confirm that the kernel in hardy-proposed, 2.6.24-24.56, improves the handling of these characters. One issue I did notice is that the screen blanking due to inactivity doesn't end up applying to the characters with the brightness bit set; however, I've verified this also happens with the unpatched kernel, so it's not a regression introduced here (ah, that's bug 395374). I consider this verification-done for hardy.
