ssh returns fqdn betwee escape codes

I do this in a script:

IK=`ssh -nq user@host sudo su - wasuser -c "date`

echo $IK will return:
Sat Aug 6 22:28:51 CEST 2011

echo $IK>ik.txt
and then
vi ik.txt
will show in vi:
^[]0;hostname.domain^GSat Aug 6 22:28:51 CEST 2011

How can I prevent sending the hostname in the output?

For me it’s working as expected - no extra chars. Can you check the length of the string which is returned to distinguish whether it’s added local or coming from the remote site.
