Can't reproduce on 28.1 nor 29 (8a18369afdc3). Can you compile 28.1 and
see if the problem goes away?
Since my /proc/cpuinfo is smaller than 16384 bytes, I used the following
steps to try to reproduce the issue:
$ zcat /proc/config.gz > ~/c
$ /path/to/emacs-28.1/src/emacs -Q -nw ~/c
`C-u C-x =' says: "position: 1 of 252720 (0%), column: 0"

In the future you might get more responses if you mail to
bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.
