The specific combination appears to be "vga=normal" and "quiet".
Looking at the kernel source, nothing appears to directly do this related to "quiet". I'm guessing that there's a condition where the (non-framebuffer) console is initialized incorrectly when no output has been written to it yet, which is much harder to pinpoint.
