You mean characters to the right of the cursor aren't redrawn correctly?

Sounds like a busybox bug.

The bash 2.04 isn't built with curses support, and thus may not have  
command line history at all. (It's really intended for scripting, ash  
is the interactive one.)

The linux from scratch images have a much newer version of bash built  
with ncurses support, but I dunno if I uploaded prebuilt ones of those  
last release. I mean to do them for the pending release, though. (Not  
quite sure when that'll be, I have to get on a plane thursday to spend  
the weekend at ohio linuxfest...)
