Description
During startup Windows guests used to show text information between the graphical screens before the login pops up. This was working well up to version 5. When version 6 came along there were a lot of problems, which were gradually fixed, but this one has never been addressed and I assume this has not been even filed here.
The reason for the textual stage is if there is something, which has been scheduled to run and the user will have to see the status of this. Typical example is when a disk check is run or startup optimizations are performed.
When this information is scrambled/garbled/unreadable and this particular screen takes a long time (see attached screen) users are lost and don't know if something is happening and they need to wait or simply reset the guest OS or what...

During startup Windows goes through a textual screen for intermediary operations (my guess is this should be the screen)
