This is the easiest thing I could wire up as a simulation

I can't very well address that part of the problem.

The $TERM declaration and the color capability,
don't exactly match in my copy of PuTTY. The distortion
seen by the OP does not look like wrongly emitted
color codes, which could make more of a mess.
PuTTY is not declaring "xterm-256color" as the term type.
