Errr, I don't understand what you mean by "exported to the virtual
console". An environment variable belongs to a process, and a tty size
belongs to a tty. When you open /dev/console, you get the _same_ tty as
if you open /dev/tty1.
And COLUMNS/LINES environment variables do get exported to the init
scripts, and do not get updated when the VT is resized due to the new
font. I dug a bit more into them, and it seems that the problem is
somewhere in rc_status (probably the pretty-printer).
I'm wondering: aren't you able to reproduce the problem by setting an
8x8 font in /etc/sysconfig/console ?
