ipdb: Starting ipdb inside ipython breaks color coding (windows)

Scenario:

1. Run ipython (in windows), import and run a method that includes a call to ipdb (i just included import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace() inside a method that i imported in this case django’s makemessages.py)
2. Debugger starts but all the color coding is output as raw strings, like so:

Edit: Just to clarify, my issue is reproducible on the first ipdb run, just by entering ipython and importing any module (sample.py) which includes the line import ipdb;ipdb.set_trace()
