The large font issue shows before the login prompt happens:
the kernel message and such. No need for X11 to be involved.

But the issue is caused by the config.txt line:

hdmi_safe=1

and commenting it out or deleting it and rebooting put things
back to what I saw in my non-debug main-build environment.

I now have:

#hdmi_safe=1

in the 13.0-RC1 media's config.txt to avoid the huge font
display and such.

hdmi_safe=1 mode likely makes more environments display at
all. So there is likely a tradeoff in having it by default.
