This has nothing to do with the infrastructure. The serial console gets debug output from the journal. If you don't expect this on the serial console, I guess this is a product bug (if not configured this way in some earlier test)

The problem here is that the actual output of the command doesn't contain this character at all. See output here: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/5754960#step/yast2_system_settings/50

The output of the command not, but the serial console at the same time - see /49

Ok, but isn't script_output designed to return only the command output?

Not really. it returns whatever the script outputs to the serial console - and everything else the serial console captures at the time.

And why 9 out of 10 times it doesn't capture anything out of the command output for aarch64 and 10/10 for the other architectures. This doesn't seem right to me. There is a function that is not acting in a predictable way. How should I make sure for my test that it will return only the command output?

It's not acting in a predictable way because the system in the background is not predictably generating debug output on the console.
