mapscrn cannot open map file

After recent global system update, arch can't set proper console font. Each time during boot i see message:

Configuring virtual consoles    [BUSY] %@mapscrn: cannot open map file _UTF-8_
/usr/bin/setfont failed with error code 1

My current rc.conf:

LOCALE="pl_PL.UTF-8"
DAEMON_LOCALE="no"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Warsaw"
KEYMAP="pl"
CONSOLEFONT=lat2-16
CONSOLEMAP=UTF-8
USECOLOR="yes"

It was working fine before update. How can I fix that?

Hi!
I had the same error, and the solution for my rc.conf was leave "CONSOLEFONT=" (empty).

Well, it is not a solution. Now console font is just not being set.
