In vi, erasing long lines will cause the text to become garbled, somewhat. I have to redraw the video buffer by scrolling back and forth and sometimes the input won't be in the same place, so it looks like I'm overwriting good text and I have to quit/relaunch.
In typing long commands, pressing backspace will result in the cursor moving upwards in a stair-like manner. It's not amazingly crippling but it's rather annoying. Somewhat hard to describe textually but it's more or less that. Maybe I could recompile it from source, I actually haven't tried. It could also be an issue with vidcontrol but the same configuration worked fine on 8.2-R-p6. I can probably figure it out but if anyone else has experienced it...

As a workaround, ctrl-L usually forces a screen refresh. It could be a bug in the newer console code in 9.0. Could also be a problem with $TERM or other environment/locale settings.
If there's a repeatable problem, I can try it on 9-STABLE.
