I can't speak for the color anomalies, but I've seen the console go into
ASCII graphics mode on a monochrome system after a cu disconnect.  I
imagine it's just the random line noise containing the right escape
sequence to kick the console driver into its alternate character set.
A "tput sgr0" always clears the problem up for me.
