This looks like bash is reading from stding in binary mode and Emacs
is feeding it DOS-style input.  Indeed I get the same effect, if I
explicitly use (set-buffer-process-coding-system 'latin-1-dos
'latin-1-dos).  Check your variables default-process-coding-system,
process-coding-system-alist and similar stuff.
