OK, yeap, a 1st echo shows at the right of the prompt (as the error used to show up), then in the following line shows the error, and then there show up around 4 lines of the same echo (couldn't count, it's really fast)...

What do you mean by "You can also try logging that entire setfont command"?  Something like?

         setfont ${FONT_MAP:+-m $FONT_MAP} ${FONT_UNIMAP:+-u $FONT_UNIMAP} \
                 $FONT -C "/dev/tty${_index}" >& <some_place>/setfont.log

Such thing would prevent seeing the failure I'd guess, but it would log it under <some_place>/setfont.log.  Is that what you meant?
