Partial text on loading screen

[s1eve-mcdichae1]

When starting a game, there is some text shown below the level loading progress bar. Usually it's just a single letter, somewhat off to the left (the exact position differs from one instance to the next, as if it's the first letter of some center-justified text of varying lengths.) Once in a while instead of a single letter it will be a longer string.

This happens whether I'm loading the tutorial, a new game, or a saved game.

I thought it only happened in debug builds but it's not. Anyway bisected and found the bad commit: e6f8862
