8.2 has a default prompt which contains code to set the title of the xterm to the working directory, and that confuses MC. The default prompt is set in /etc/bashrc, but you can override the default in your user's ~/.bashrc
The syntax error is because I neglected to wrap the prompt code in single quotes. It should have been
export PS1='\u@\h:\w> '
My apologies.
The man entry for bash will explain all.

The default prompt contains shell code to set the xterm window title
which confuses MC.
Add an entry to your .bashrc to override it e.g.
export PS1=\u@\h:\w>
Two questions: What's all that about and why does it give me a syntax error?
