I attempted the enabling UTF8, and I thought it actually solved the issue of
not displaying the glitched characters, but simply because replaces all my
echoed characters as underscores. Once I set TERM to a unicode enabled
terminal, everything displayed correctly again, and the glitches came right
back. see below. I am running Linux, the openWRT distro to be precise on an
embedded system. As for the terminal, I am not entirely sure. They are all
virtual ttys I suppose. I have terminfo for rxvt, xterm, rxvt-unicode,
xterm-color, linux,dumb, vt100, vt102, and ansi. I am not sure how rxvt or
xterm are applicable, because I do not have X. If I had to venture a guess, it
is probably FBterm,
Thanks again.

Subject: Re: Tmux: echos to the status bar
Could be UTF-8 characters being sent from your script without UTF-8 being
turned on. Try adding the following to you .tmux.conf:
# Treat top-bit-set-option characters in the status-left and status-right
strings as UTF-8
set-option -g status-utf8 on
The only other thing that comes to mind is something terminal / os specific.
What are you using?
Also, a screen shot might be helpful.
