Thanks for the report. The cursor positioning bug is fixed, but the prompt
rendering issue is not, and probably won't be for a while.
The reason for that is the readline redisplay algorithm doesn't reprint the
entire multiline prompt on each input character, and only redisplays the
last line (the other lines are not going to change). With the prompt you're
using, the second and subsequent times you display that second line of the
prompt, readline is going to be doing it with the terminal in normal mode.
Readline chooses to reprint the entire second line of the prompt because it
has invisible characters. I'll see if there's something that I can do to
inhibit that in certain cases.
