Can't reproduce, it works for me. http://media.dinnerbone.com/uploads/2014-10/screenshots/15_17-01-29_rsxCrtSlax.png
Whoops, forgot to /scoreboard teams join after creating the team and setting up some objectives. Cannot reproduce either.
This happens on servers that use the method of putting § in front of names. To re-create try servers like us.mineplex.com and mc.hypixel.com
@unknown, those are modified servers. Its their problem.
Also, Mojang is actually planning to remove support for that symbol (§) entirely (Dinnerbone from MC-33145):
Can't fix this sorry. Chat uses chat components, where the section symbol is of very limited legacy support. We're moving away from supporting that symbol entirely and whilst we're not quite there yet, it will be a lot of work to keep support in.
@Sonic
Not really, Mojang actually is planning on ending support for § symbol, not removing it. If § was removed the "Colormatic" splash could get ruined.
If they do remove support for §, they should still leave it with the random numbers and §s in it as a little easter egg / tribute thing to when it was supported
Names in chat aren't colored either, but I can't recall if they were before.
