I think it's a problem with GNU readline. Unfortunately, there is no
mailing list for the readline library, so you'd need to look at a more
general GNU mailing list. You could look around on savannah.gnu.org
and see what you can find.

Methinks the GNU readline library should turn of the IEXTEN flag.
As a workaround, you can either (1) turn it off yourself, using the
incantation "stty -iexten", or (2) just turn off the discard character
with "stty discard '^-'" (double quotes not included in either case).
Run "stty -a" to see the current settings.

Because xterm sets the discard character, as well as piles of other
control characters, to ^@ (the NUL character).
I think that's a bug in xterm.
