I just tried. If you can reliably reproduce that, report the recipe for that using "M-x report-emacs-bug RET". It is best to try reproducing this without any non-standard software such as Console 2 (after all, each tab there is just another instance of the shell, so just opening several shell windows should be enough to show the problem).
