Thanks again for reporting. I can confirm this issue happens here as well.
It happens because we are printing into fixed size buffers without
checking the length. The following changes this to use (v)snprintf
instead and should fix this issue.

Subject: [PATCH] console: Fix printbuffer overflowing
The barebox printf functions are not safe against too long strings. The
pattern is always the same: We (v)sprintf into a fixed size buffer. Use
(v)snprintf instead to not overwrite the fixed size buffer. We stand
back from using dynamically sized buffer though, as the barebox printf
like functions might be called before the malloc pool is initialzed.
