Does the PROMPT_COMMAND setting come from your .bashrc?
If yes, then:
1. never use it it's overkill, set PS1 to do the same thing instead.
2. when setting it, you need to set it conditionally, only when TERM==xterm

That sequence should only be used for xterm.
It's been reported that this used to work in term.el in emacs-23.1, no
idea why it does not work now. I don't have any plans to figure out why
it does not work anymore, or to do anything about it.
