rl_insert() in bash 1.03 has some code to insert many characters at once.
In the rare cases when this code is run it looses the original inargument.
Here is my fix:

--- readline.c	Mon Sep  4 13:38:49 1989

  	if (chars_avail)
  	  {
! 	    int slen, key = 0, i = 0;
  	    char *string = (char *)xmalloc (slen = 20);
  
  	    while (chars_avail--)
  	      {
  		key = rl_getc (in_stream);
--- 2135,2144 ----
  
  	if (chars_avail)
  	  {
! 	    int slen, key = 0, i = 1;
  	    char *string = (char *)xmalloc (slen = 20);
  
+ 	    string[0] = c;
  	    while (chars_avail--)
  	      {
  		key = rl_getc (in_stream);
