d-i will only propagate things from the initial command line which follow a "---" marker. Since bootscr.mainline_common doesn't include a "---" in the command line the console= added there won't be propagated. Perhaps we should add a "---"? Perhaps not in the test -n ${console}, but maybe before it? OTOH I'm not sure if that would make things harder for people who want to do things with bootargs before calling bootscr.mainline_common, such as inserting preseeding stuff of their own.
