I also cannot reproduce it with the bash-3.2 release candidate on Linux
(aterm or xterm) or FreeBSD6 (aterm or xterm). I used the UTF-8 locale
to activate the multibyte locale code, which seems to be where most of
the display issues are. Otherwise, that detail is unimportant.
Sorry I can't reproduce this particular issue, but it looks like the
prompt string you sent will be valuable in checking whether or not the
multiple-prompt-string-redraws problem has been solved.
