OK, in xterm I see what you mean.

In the Swedish lang configure.lang:

bb_conf_menu_default='_____terst____ll'
bb_conf_menu_revert='_____ngra ____ndringar'

(if you can't see the above try:
http://svn.inf.sgsp.edu.pl/filedetails.php?rep=0&path=/bashburn/trunk/lang/Swedish/configure.lang&rev=0&sc=0
)

appear as:

^[[1;31m|-^[[37;40m 20) __^__terst____ll^[[1;31m
^[[1;31m|-^[[37;40m 21) __^__ngra ____ndringar^[[1;31m

i.e. having ctrl ^ chars in there instead of that funny inverse question
mark.
