I didn't do anything explicit to set this prompt up, and I haven't
changed the prompt on the remote machine.  However, I have noticed that
ever since I upgraded to Emacs 25.1, I have seen similar very strange
looking prompts even from local `M-x shell' invocations within
emacs... although *that* doesn't seem to be reproducing now.

Some other weird thing is going on; when I connect to that machine from
a terminal window, what I see looks very normal.

I don't see the recipes you're referring to in the TRAMP manual.  Do you
have a more specific pointer?

Thanks,
