The character pointed to by the arrow needs to be removed.

When using no logo, there's a dash or underscore character as shown in the attached photo, no_logo.jpg.
The character needs to be removed.

swift@eagle:/boot $ cat loader.conf | grep logo
loader_logo="none"    # Desired logo: orbbw, orb, fbsdbw, beastiebw, beastie, none
swift@eagle:/boot $

Just to clarify/expand on the title:

The "spurious character" (twiddle from the previous screen) has always been there, except that it is on a different location.  It is also important to note that it can show as the last twiddle position, i.e., one of -, \, | or /.
I don't remember if it is only present in the lua loader and not in the forth loader.
