This means that putty entry exists, but is buggy. I recall some old
version of terminfo had a [find]/[select] replacing [home]/[end] error.
Not root? You should correct this entry:
| $ infocmp > putty.orig.src
| $ sed -e "s/kfnd/khome/" -e "s/kslt/kend/" putty.orig.src > putty.src
| $ tic putty.src
This should create ~/.terminfo/p/putty entry, taking precedence over
the system one. Or download the latest terminfo source, the entry has
been enhanced since then.

What happens? PS1 embeds a spurious escape sequence that gets
interpreted differently?
