2.05b-11 doesn't display prompt with hidden characters correctly

I just upgraded my bash to 2.05b-11.  I use ANSI color codes in my PS1 
prompt, and in 2.05-10, they worked fine.  Now with -11, if I hit 
'c<TAB><TAB>n', I expect to see:

/home/rcampbell> c
Display all 190 possibilities? (y or n)
/home/rcampbell> c

But, instead, I see:
/home/rcampbell> c
Display all 190 possibilities? (y or n)
/home/rcampbell> c c

And, at this point, bash seems confused about where the cursor is 
located.  Backspace can only kill the 2nd 'c', the space and first 'c' 
are permenent until it draws a new prompt.

This also happens if the list of possibilities is displayed (with or 
without the question).
