Emacs' shell buffer does not expect these ANSI codes. Maybe this code  
for your .emacs corrects the shell buffer's behaviour:

(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda ()
;          (make-local-variable 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode)
          (ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)))

If this fails you can set in ~/.emacs_bash a different value for PS1  
in Emacs' shell buffer, one that does not generate ANSI codes.

A lot of us are working harder than we want, at things we don't like to
do.  Why? ...In order to afford the sort of existence we don't care  
to live.
