Beginning with bash-3.0, after a number of requests for the feature, readline began "honoring" the terminal special characters by binding them to their readline equivalents at startup. In bash-3.1, this was made dependent on the value of the readline variable `bind-tty-special-chars', which is on by default. You might consider upgrading. Bash-3.0 was released over four years ago.
