Do you see a lot of control structures scattering around?

The way you get them when using !vim within vim?
(you can still use :q! do quit)
your TERMINAL env var might be important.
Does it look different when additionally running all within screen?

Perhaps :h terminal* can also help?

I'm no experienced user with this stuff. It did just work for me all the
time :)
