I hit a similar problem, and I have been toying with the idea of adding
support for basic ansi escapes to iPXE and rewriting the full screen
parts to use it (menu, login, and config)
iPXE already uses ANSI escape sequences internally for all console I/O,
with an internal translation layer to drive the BIOS INT 10 and other
non-ANSI consoles.

I normally use iPXE on a VGA screen (BIOS mode). But I also own some
PC Engines ALIX / APU boards. Those do not have a VGA part, so I
need to use the serial port.
When using "login" command, it looks a bit weird, because everytime
I type a character, the whole line is repeated. Typing my username
"sven" would result in
s sv sve sven
Are you using:
(a) iPXE's own serial console support (CONSOLE_SERIAL in
config/console.h),
(b) some kind of serial console emulation provided by your BIOS, or
(c) both
Option (a) should work. Option (b) may work if your BIOS is good
enough. Option (c) is not going to work since both iPXE and the BIOS
will be attempting to drive the serial port simultaneously.
