Bash doesn't have control at that point. It's readline running a bindable
function. It's as if you hit ^L when the readline line buffer was empty:
readline reprints the prompt, but should it call back to bash somehow --
through a hook function that doesn't currently exist -- to execute
PROMPT_COMMAND?

I don't think that most people expect PROMPT_COMMAND in that situation.

I'm saying it's not a bug at all, and doesn't need fixing.
