I looked at the APAR and it has been closed recently with the mention that "As long as the underlying operating system does not support rendering of these characters, RDP will no longer support them".
So it looks that we don't have a choice we have to remove these characters.

Thinking a little bit more about it, the color characters are a problem only when they are in positions 1 to 5. When they are after the comment marker, I don't feel they are a problem. For instance if I have something like the following ( _ represents the color character )
*_A comment
In SEU, I would have everything up and including the * in green and the rest of the comment in color. In RD Power I would get
*A comment

At work, I will propose that we move the color codes to the right of the comment marker. If a non comment line is colored (rare in our case), we will loose that coloring. The utility that does that should probably also give a warning if any color codes are found outside of comments.

Have a nice day.
Thierry.
