In a "console"? Is > cmd.exe a "console"? But is it not just another program? I think Emacs can affect the buffering of programs that it invokes directly. In my experience, the buffering problems normally start when a program is run through some other program, the classic example being ssh being run by cvs and the password prompt not appearing in Emacs until you kill cvs. I don't think anything Emacs does can fix this.
