Run into this too on macOS :(

This is a bug in PANSIES, obviously (not in PowerLine), but I'll leave this open to make sure I don't forget to deal with it. PANSIES is supposed to be cross-platform.

I think you just need to use an older version of PANSIES -- the pre-releases are kind-of Windows only (and I'm OK with that).

There is also #52, which is caused by PowerShell/PowerShell#10092.

[Jaykul]

And apparently #44

I believe all of these are fixed now.

Since this is all very old, I'm going to assume people are as bad as I am about noticing notifications from github, and I'm going to close it without confirming with all of the reporters. If there are more cross-platform bugs, let's open new issues ;-)
