Yes, it does have this commit.

For that system, I'm using Gnome terminal 3.24.2 and GNU bash, version
4.4.12(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) (Ubuntu 17.10).

If I change 'echo' to '/bin/echo' in e.g. prlog() it works fine, so it
must be the inbuilt bash echo that's not doing the right thing.  I
thought it might be the xpg_echo option, but 'shopt -s xpg_echo'
doesn't have any effect.

I also tried on a Fedora 28 system (GNOME terminal 3.28.2, GNU bash,
version 4.4.23(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu), and it worked
fine.

Also, tried a Ubuntu 18.04.1 system (GNOME Terminal 3.28.1, GNU bash,
version 4.4.19(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) and in that case the
colors worked fine, but still got the '-e -n' and newlines in the
output:

-e -n [28] (instance)  event trigger - test histogram modifiers
-e 	[PASS]
-e -n [29] (instance)  event trigger - test histogram trigger
-e 	[PASS]

Again, substituting '/bin/echo' in prlog() fixed things in this case
too.   I guess the builtin bash 'echo' can't be relied on..
