Is the problem in libreadline7 or in bash? The newer bash requires the
newer readline, but if the problem is in readline proper, then the newer
readline plus the older bash would reproduce it.

I don't think I introduced any accidental downstream regressions, so
this may be a true upstream regression in readline.  But I have not yet
had time to try and reproduce the problem.
