I submitted a pile of fixes to knotty2 around the time it was made the default to fix this problem and a number of others (such as resizing your terminal window while building).  The particular problem you see is caused by not reading the terminal size and computing when lines are going to wrap.   If you are seeing this behavior with the bitbake master branch please send a report.
