Assuming that you copied/pasted the string from your terminal,
I can see (in my 8-bit-clean textedit window :) that there are
characters similar to the one which should be there:

a cross instead of the x in tsx-11
same in linux
a-tilde instead of a in packages

In fact, at first glance I thought it had something to do with parity issues...
What does a "reset" sent to a terminal do ? (UTSL, yes, I know) -
Perhaps some gpm wierdness ? (Just a shot in the dark.)
