Non-printing characters need to be bracked with \[...\] to inform bash
that they do not display.  Please see the bash documentation in the
section on "PROMPTING".

        \[     begin  a sequence of non-printing characters, which could
               be used to embed a terminal  control  sequence  into  the
               prompt
        \]     end a sequence of non-printing characters

I believe that will fix your problem.
