C Campbell,

I finally got a chance to try your suggestion and have found that poweline (the new python version) is at fault and the problem is an already open issue for the project (https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline/issues/371).

I will have to either downgrade powerline or disable it entirely, for now.

Thanks,
--Kenny
