I am not sure this is a bug. This seems to be a doubly encoded data: You want
U+00DF, which in UTF-8 is the byte sequence 0xc3 0x9f.
Instead you have the byte sequence 0xc3 0x83 0xc3 0x9f when decodes to U+00C3
U+009F.
U+00C3 is A tilda,
U+009F is a control char (APC), so everything after is considered part of the
control sequence, rather than characters to be printed.
Please note that xterm and xfce4-terminal behave like konsole.
