The problem is that missing newlines can't be detected by the shell.

I've added the feature of not printing a carriage return before
printing the initial prompt, though fish _will_ still use carriage
returns occasionally when the user edits the commandline, so when
he/she starts writing things, the prompt will fix itself, and cover up
the last line of input in the process.

Patch is in the darcs tree.
