During the fight (wolves) I was getting faint, oversized, dark blue text, appearing at the top of the screen where messages appear and then quickly fading away. I ignored it (there was fighting to do!), and killed them and left.
But as I walk around in the world map the text still sometimes appears on a movement keypress and then quickly fades away. Not every move, about 1 in 8. After several quickfire printscreen attempts I managed to catch a screenshot (sorry about the width - not imgw tags). It starts a bit brighter than this, I caught it about halhway through the fade.

Stdout can be found here if it helps.
