It appears that the quiet kernel parameter also sets a quiet flag in Syslinux as well, which is doing something horrible to early framebuffers. As to the original question, it seems that "quiet" and "loglevel=4" are identical indeed, unless you use Syslinux.
For what it's worth: I'm using syslinux with quiet without seeing this problem (using i915). Also, the last kernel commit I pointed to in a previous email shows a place in the boot code where "quiet" is indeed different from "loglevel=4", just in case someone came across a different problem.
