I get the same behaviour under Konsole on Arch Linux with KDE 4.6:

$ echo computer | apertium -d . en-ne
कमपयटर

while piping into a file gives me कम्प्युटर

It seems to be a known bug, with a patch (last one from 2 years ago?) if
you feel like recompiling: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156071

But it might be quicker to just install gnome-terminal/xterm/something
else. Or open emacs and do M-x shell, which displays it correctly :)
