Same here.
 

I really am running PuTTY on Windows and logging in to a FreeBSD system.

 
I am running KDE Konsole on Linux to access a local shell.
 

Of course, I typed

My terminal window shows:

    hello

If I type

"hello"

 
My terminal window shows:
 
    * (write-string "hello")
    hello
    "hello"
 
Most likely suspect: Windows is the weakest link.

The $TERM declaration and the color capability,
don't exactly match in my copy of PuTTY. The distortion
seen by the OP does not look like wrongly emitted
color codes, which could make more of a mess.
PuTTY is not declaring "xterm-256color" as the term type.

I believe this is a FreeBSD thing.  Using the same PuTTY and the same
Windows, but loging in on a GNU Debian system, I don't see any problems:
