Yes, you are right. The problem is that I have PROMPT_COMMAND set to a
function that exports PS1. I had fixed the problem but not propagated
the solution to all other machines. The correct prompt looks like this:
\[\e[35m\][\t] \[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[36m\](\!)
\[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[34m\]\[\033[0m\]\n$
The extraneous symbols were coming from the following fragment
\[\033]2;\u@\h\a\]
which seems to be some sort of attempt to use the text attribute "dim"
(2;), which is ignored or not displayed for most of my terminals, but
produces
^[]2;loris@pi^G
when the shell is run with Emacs.
Sorry for the noise.
Cheers,
Loris
