> Emacs often writes to the last character possibly by mistake.  To
> reproduce, run emacs -Q, hit M-: (eval-expression), write some garbage
> until the minibuffer window scrolls (I used (+ (% (random) 26) ?a) to
> generate the garbage), and hit C-p until you scroll down a line.  You
> should now see that the last character cell contains a continuation
> ('\') glyph.  I think this is probably due to the use of any of 'il' or
> 'il1' or 'rin' terminal capabilities.

Thanks, but please provide more info:

  . the exact recipe to try (I tried to follow the above, but
    couldn't, I guess I misunderstand what you mean)
  . on which terminal emulators this is known to happen, at least in
    your case (and if you happen to know, also others)
