Ah ha!

I have been given some very useful info, and have discovered this
environment variable:

  PROMPT_COMMAND=echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"

That's my problem. Hopefully a combination of "export" and the log_user
command in expect will result in more reasonable output in PHP.

Cheers,
