I'd fix this issue with the following logic:

bool pending_clear_to_eol;

my_putchar(c) {
	switch (c) {
	case '\r':
	case '\n':
		pending_clear_to_eol = true;
		break;
	default:
		if (pending_clear_to_eol) {
			clear_to_eol();
			pending_clear_to_eol = false;
		}
		break;
	}
	putchar(c);
}

In other words, you clear the line after printing "remote:" but only if 
there is a non \n or \r coming next.
