This may be a locale issue.  If you peek at /etc/profile.d/locale.sh,
you'll probably see an "echo" command in there that spits that out.
It's supposed to set the console to unicode mode.

The likely bug here is that bash is sourcing that file for each shell
script whether the tty is a console or not.
