According to their forum, "it's because the FreeDOS [but not MS-DOS!] console outputs ANSI codes formatting, which the default Windows terminal does not support." And yes, ANSICON seems like the best solution to that. (I haven't tested any of this recently, hence my slow reply to what is probably obvious by now.)
