I suspect it's really not a terminal issue but something about git. Or does a Terminal that doesn't interpret a command print it in clear text? I just get the string back, the same way I entered it.
It's definitely a terminal thing. The "bug" in git is that it doesn't strip out the control characters or reject the commit if the commit message contains non-text data.
