What you are seeing is video resolution being switched before VRAM is cleared. For a split second you're seeing the new resolution with "garbage" in the vram. What's there could easily change depending on previous conditions.

That must have been very challenging to capture. I'd have used a video camera and snagged the single frame. (I've had to catch things that FLEW by in verbose mode or before a force fsck shutdown in verbose mode before)
