I don't think we need to work around this, as detecting such a
broken login configuration is important.

To check if printing is save in the login scripts, you can use the
'tty' command:

tty > /dev/null && echo "Welcome"

or:

if tty > /dev/null; then
    echo "Welcome"
    echo "some more text"
fi
