# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by resolvconf
search pesa.homelinux.org
nameserver 192.168.86.2
-e # Generated by dhclient for interface eth0#

The last line looks strange.

After patching:
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by resolvconf
search pesa.homelinux.org
nameserver 192.168.86.2

This is ok.

Which ebuild and version is this about?

dhclient and dhclient-script are part of net-misc/dhcp, and I can reproduce the
problem with version 3.1.0. echo -e is not supported by all shells (nor should
it), but is by bash, so systems where /bin/sh is bash won't be affected.
