Console text selection bug

When I select text in console it's scrambled. I looked at the
aty128 sources, but I didn't find anything about it. Where is
the code that manages selection/cut/paste ?
The selected text is scrambled in this way: every char has
the bits 1,2,3 swapped with bits 5,6,7 respectively (bits
numbered left to right). I don't know what can cause this
strange behaviour... I thought the console screen was a
simple array of char/colour pairs.
