Looks like konsole isn't interpreting the color codes. However, it also looks like git doesn't use termcap/terminfo/etc. to determine the correct way to write colors for your terminal and just defaults to ANSI.

Do you get odd output from: grep --color=always o <<< foo or are the "o"s properly colored red?

So you have a /usr/share/terminfo/k/konsole-256color file? If so, it might be better to use TERM="konsole-256color".

I never use 256 color mode, so I'm not clear on how that works. However, what git is outputting look more like ANSI 16-color codes.

Does this work as you expect in other terminal applications (like rxvt or xterm or gnome-terminal) with the same settings for TERM?

Just to let you know, it works here (openSUSE 11.1) with Konsole 1.6.6 (KDE 3.5.10) running git 1.6.0.2 inside screen 4.00.02
