No, I've experienced the same problem years ago.
The funny thing is, that it worked on some machines, 
while it didn't on others.

I worked around the problem by putting
machdep.conspeed=38400
in /etc/sysctl.conf, so the speed is reset to the right
speed, once the system is up.

Of course this doesn't work for boot2, loader or the kernel
itself. These three components seem to set their console speed
in some cases arbitrarly.

In my kernel I have the CONSPEED and the BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED
in make.conf set accordingly.

Anyway its not a big problem for me now any more, so I never
filed a PR.

Best regards,
 Daniel
