I too have encountered the same symptoms.  I have no idea why this started 
happening, but I have found a couple ways around it.  First, two Control-Ds 
will act as a Return if you find the status lines appearing.  Second, the
stty command will fix it totally.  I use `stty status ^T' to remap the status 
command to Control-T rather than Control-J (the ^T is a carat, T):

  akira:/home/bhlewis [123]>su
  Password:load: 0.03  cmd: su 24921 [ttyin] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 624k
  [2 ^D's here]
  akira:/home/bhlewis [101]#exit
  exit
  akira:/home/bhlewis [124]>stty
  speed 38400 baud;
  lflags: echoe echok echoke echoctl pendin
  iflags: -ixany ignpar
  oflags: -oxtabs
  cflags: cs8 -parenb -hupcl
  status
  ^J      
  akira:/home/bhlewis [125]>stty status ^T
  akira:/home/bhlewis [126]>stty
  speed 38400 baud;
  lflags: echoe echok echoke echoctl pendin
  iflags: -ixany ignpar
  oflags: -oxtabs
  cflags: cs8 -parenb -hupcl
  akira:/home/bhlewis [127]>su
  Password:
  akira:/home/bhlewis [101]#

I hope this helps,

-Ben
