Sounds like your tty is going into telegraph mode.
Unix used to go into telegraph mode or something similar as far as I can
remember back
(showing my age !! ;-)
Try doing <ctrl-d> at login prompt. Should bring up another login
session.
If you try to login with CAPs on you will get funny things happening.
The same thing is true if you get spurious ctrl characters on tty ports.
This used to be a problem with RS232 ports.
