Yes, I saw it when installing CentOS as well. I thought I had found a way around it with terminal emulator settings, but I couldn't find them quickly the last time I tried and just went ahead as is. For me, this was just a small part of the install until VNC fired up, and the VNC screens were just fine.
Once CentOS is installed, these characters pop up occasionally in man pages. Mildly annoying. I assumed that the problem might be due to code page strangeness between what I am using, and what Pasi Pirhonen used in building the distribution. I haven't had the time or inclination to follow up on this, though.

At least with CentOS, I got the OSA GIGE card working with LINUX.
