Which ANSI escape sequences tell the terminal to garble its content,
tell it to switch encoding, or might cause such a phenomenon?

Did you try the script?  It garbles even the prompt (e.g., "[EMAIL PROTECTED]
computer:~$").  Checking the "Terminal -> Set Character Encoding" menu
reveals that the encoding is the same, before and after the garble:
UTF-8.
