NAICT, all is normal, except the last line (EE) doesn't make sense.

Occasionally, the black is not all pure black. On last try, text was barely
discernable in very dark gray on a black background that's supposed to be
blue, via this in ~/.bashrc:
tty=$(tty); [ "$tty" != "${tty#/dev/tty[0-9]}" ] && setterm --background blue
--foreground white --bold on --blank 59 --store
Maybe it's setterm from util-linux-2.25 that's broken, but there's no string
setterm in its changelog.
