Since I'm running on a Mac, I don't have xterm available, and none of my other computers have X installed. However, I downloaded iTerm.app, and it does not display the same issue. It specifies $TERM as "xterm". I then went into Terminal.app and changed it to specify $TERM as 'xterm', and the problem disappeared!
I'm not sure what the difference between xterm and xterm-color is, and how that interacts with Terminal.app -- where would I look to find out what is going on? Thanks, Ricky p.s. I simplified the shell prompt -- PS1 is '\h:\W \u\$'.
