Escape sequences are not being handled correctly

Created attachment 180528 Screenshots of printed escape characters
It appears that gnome-terminal is not correctly emulating how an xterm handles escape sequences. My program uses ncurses to write a table of floating-point values to a console as it runs. If I run this program in an xterm, everything is fine. If I run it in gnome-terminal, escape characters and things like "[31;]" end up getting printed to the screen, overwriting the values (for an example, see the attached image).
I'm sorry I can't provide more information, but I can't post our code.
In gnome-terminal-2.32.0,
$ echo $TERM xterm $ env|grep -i utf LANG=en_US.utf8 GDM_LANG=en_US.utf8
