Yaourt seems to always attempt to use vt102 ("ANSI") escape codes for highlighting, even when the TERM variable is set to a different terminal type. This causes screen corruption on other types of terminal types.
In particular, it completely messes up the text when TERM is set to dumb, for example in Emacs terminal mode.
It's likely that Yaourt writes the escape codes directly without paying attention to TERM at all. The correct solution is to use the terminfo library.
