They are not empty.  You can reproduce this by doing:

PS1="\[\033[1;34m\][\h|\[\033[1;31m\]\W\[\033[1;34m\]]>\[\033[0m\] "

in a shell buffer and then
M-x ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on RET

If this is a bug in bash, should we work around it as the Linux console
and other terminal emulators do by discarding non printable characters
in shell mode?
