Yes, something like 

erl -noshell -eval 'io:format("\e[31mhi\e[0m").'

works, but it's nice to have the interactive shell at the same time. And
it looks like a pretty trivial fix (in the message linked in the
original post; I think it's just the stuff in the patch that
specialcases ASCII code 27). I haven't actually tested that though.
