+ tty_num=$(echo "$tty" | grep -oE '[0-9]+$')

If GREP_OPTIONS has color=always set, then this uses coloured grep output, meaning $tty_num carries colour information in `vtarg="vt$tty_num"`.

To resolve:

- tty_num=$(echo "$tty" | grep -oE '[0-9]+$')
+ tty_num=$(echo "$tty" | grep --color=never -oE '[0-9]+$')
This task depends upon

It's an upstream patch, so you should fill a bugreport upstream
