One thing to try is to remove (or rename) /etc/bash*, ~/.bash*, etc so
bash comes up in a pristine environment in both your current user's
shell and in root's directory.  That should remove any configuration
issues that may be causing the problem.

BTW, I'd recommend sudo instead of su.  You have a lot more in the way
of control.  That said, you do need to get su working properly as a
part of a robust system.
