I remember having seen a similar problem.
The user has a VT220 (orig. DEC), is connected to an old DEC terminal
server. An ETS8 functions as protocol converter LAT -> Telnet to connect
to FreeBSD-2.0. This user gets ^@ in FreeBSD's mail but not in the bash
prompt (this maybe some 'intelligent' action by bash. I know that bash
also hides a wrong stty setting of erase).

Sorry, I don't know, how to solve the problem. Our user now logs into
VMS, and uses telnet to get further to FreeBSD successfully. I suspected
mostly things like stty setting or 'set session newline lf' misconfiguration
for the problems.
