Phil, I cannot confirm what you say using BASH under either a Windows console or RXVT. Everything seems to work as expected.
Tell us more about your shell / emulator configuration, what you're doing and the specific unwanted characters that appear. By the way, is your $SHELL setting consistent with the shell you use for interactive use? I'm pretty sure the ftp program is going to use $SHELL as the shell that executes "!" commands. Another thing, are your .profile / .bashrc (or whichever get executed by your shell during startup) properly written to be quiet when operating non-interactively?
