Hi,

Since a few months, the first line of a file that is displayed when less
is started is printed with a pseudo-random (positive or negative)
offset; pseudo-random, as in, it is the same for any given file on any
'less' run, but it changes on a per-file basis. Once the file is
visible, if you hit ^L to redraw the screen, everything is fine; it's
just the very first time that things go wrong.

It very much looks like an uninitialized variable somewhere.

I'm using version 436-1 (Squeeze Testing), and I don't see this problem.
Have you upgraded to Squeeze?  If so, can you re-test?
