There should not have been any rejects -- there are not when I apply them using `patch -p0'. In any case, I was able to reproduce this on an Ubuntu system. It's a hard problem: how to accurately calculate display position when multibyte characters are present, but will not be sent to the display, and the information about invisible sequences has been lost. I believe I have a fix, but it will require considerable testing, and will probably not appear until bash-4.1.
