Those are ANSI escape codes. My google-fu is not up to telling me how to set xconsole to ignore them, but it seems possible that xconsole just cannot handle ANSI codes? A workaround may be to set RC_NOCOLOR="yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc Some of the init scripts seems to check for them, but I am not sure whether it will work or not.
