Please open an issue at https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/new
It looks like the PROMPT_SP hack to deal with output from a command that
does not end with a newline has been broken. Note that this does not happen
if the output has more than a single character so we probably have an off
by one error somewhere in the code. I wonder if zsh has the same bug since
we copied that implementation.
Note that you can see the character is actually written by using the
`script` command to capture all output.
