Bash prompt colors escape code issue in Nightly Builds

Just FYI, I noticed this issue with a nightly version a few weeks ago. I chalked it up to it just being a nightly, however it still appears in the latest nightly. Note it does not appear in the latest test release from 11/3 (or the last stable).
When I open a new session, I cd into one of my directories that has a customized bash prompt that displays git information (the standard git_ps1 prompt that is included in the git distros).
It seems that there's an issue whereby the test releases are not properly dealing with the prompt color escape codes, and are instead displaying the actual code, In the attached screenshots, you can see the difference between the test version (correctly displayed) and the nightly (incorrectly displayed).
Since the test version was released after the first time I saw this issue with a nightly, and it still works properly, I'm assuming that the test version was built off of the stable branch and not the currently nightly branch (also evident because the test version doesn't include the new app icon that the nightlies do).
This prompt color error appeared on two different machines (home and work).
