From the sound of it the terminal emulation mode might not match on the server and client. Some emulation modes may overlap for a subset of standard/printable characters and it will appear to work correctly until a control or formatting character comes across. Have you made sure these match? You can check inside the BIOS/System Setup under Serial Communication > Remote Terminal Type. The options are VT100/VT220 and ANSI. The shell invoking SSH will need to have the TERM environment variable set to match, "vt100" or "ansi". Does that seem to have any impact?
