a) This has nothing to do with INPUT, and
b) no, it's not a bug.

The display is never updated when a program starts running, whether it's
a built-in program or a user program.  The program itself may choose to
update the display, but the ENTER code doesn't presume to do that.  Not
only will you see frozen cursors and PRG annunciators, but frozen clocks
and anything else that was in the display when you let 'er rip.

Program entry mode is automatically cleared by ENTER (if the command line
parsing succeeds).
