I have this problem as well. I'd like to add that it seems not to be terminal dependent (occurs on konsole and linux VC).
Also, using a colored prompt without \[ and \] to delimit non-printing characters will fix this. But then readline doesn't wrap lines correctly (described in E3 of the FAQ http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/bash/FAQ).
