This is not a bug in Konsole or xterm.

This is the shell that is confused about where it is, not the terminal.
You just have to properly configure your shell to ignore ESC sequences when counting characters that move the cursor.

With bash, just wrap ESC sequences with \[ and \].

For example:
  export PS1='\[\e[0;33m\]\u:\w> \[\e[0m\]'

With ksh, this is not as easy, but you can use '\015' to tell the shell from which char it must count characters.

The resolution of the bug must be INVALID instead of WONTFIX.
