Argh, this has been staring me in the face from boot.cfg all this time. 
It works now. I wonder why only .32 kernels had problems, though.

I've put this info on our wiki. It would be nice if GRUB had some docs 
on /etc/default/grub, though.

It seems that grub-yeeloong doesn't handle this correctly. The 
console=tty parameter is in the bzr repo. But during gNewSense 
installation you get asked what to put in the CMDLINE options and it 
doesn't show the right value by default. So just accepting it writes the 
wrong value to the file. I also couldn't get a correct file by purging 
and reinstalling grub-yeeloong, either with or without deleting 
/etc/default/grub.
