Well, I'm not sure how to get rid of it entirely; a lot of programs
assume you have a capable terminal.  Your man program's man page
should tell you how to do that, then you can add those switches to the
Manual-switches variable.

Alternatively, M-x ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on RET will allow XEmacs
to display those sequences nicely.

I have no idea why this would change anything.

Have you tried both builds with "xemacs -vanilla"?  It's possible that
you have installed ansi-color wrapped in a (unless (featurep 'mule) ...)
or something like that.
