I could reproduce this ten minutes ago in gnome-terminal. Now I can't. I checked the code, and aptitude is definitely asking curses to write out the progress percentage followed by a percent sign, flush right on the last row of the terminal. If I change the coordinates so it's one cell to the left, it appears one cell to the left (there's a blank space between the percent sign and the right-hand side of the terminal). If I shift the coordinates one cell to the right, I get this bug every single time.
So, the terminal is definitely acting like aptitude is trying to draw off the edge, but I don't think it is. It would be interesting to see the output of "strace -e write=1" from a buggy startup of aptitude, although I have to admit that I can't read terminal codes well enough to tell what it's trying to do anyway.
