I think the problem is that bash prints out the prompt when it starts.
It's only after it has read the line changing the prompt that it can
actually change the prompt.

The info manual says "The value of the variable `PROMPT_COMMAND' is
examined just before Bash prints each primary prompt."  So, at the start
of the .bashrc it has the wrong value, so one line is wrong.

I think you have to use -p to change the value for the first line.

I think your environment is configured oddly if you're seeing this
prompt at all.
