Subject: bug#11785: 24.1; term-mode doesn't respect first color change from a process

A small test file will demonstrate this problem:

$ cat test.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo -e "\E[31mRed \E[32mGreen"

When running this, I expect to get "Red" in red and "Green" in green.

Running `emacs -Q --eval '(ansi-term "./test.sh")' with Emacs 24 results
in "Red" in black (not red as expected) and "Green" in green. Doing this
with Emacs 23.1 results in the expected behavior ("Red" in red).

In GNU Emacs 24.1.2 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.4)
