This is probably something being spat out by your shell startup on the
remote host.  Go through your .zshenv, .zshrc, etc. (or equivalent
files for other shell) on the remote host and make sure that nothing
writes output such as terminal control sequences when the standard
input is not a tty.  (It could also be something in /etc/zshenv in
which case you're probably stuck unless you can become root on the
remote host.)
