I have found in mushclient v3.17 that ANSI codes that are embedded in long descriptive text when a single highlighted word is moved to the next line because of word wrapping the ansi hightlight fails to be ended by the embedded ansi control sequence on the mush. Testing this I modified the text block so that the word did not need to wrap and ansi codes properly terminated the highlighting as it should have. The problem definitely seems to be a function of the word wrapping routine..
