The difference is that readline initializes itself after /etc/bash.bashrc is read in the former case, and before it's read in the latter. That would seem to point to /etc/bash.bashrc. Your initial message leads me to believe that readline is getting wrong information when it initially reads the terminal capabilities, and the value for `xn' is wrong. What's in debian's /etc/bash.bashrc, and has it been changed on your system? (I can't reproduce this at all, so someone else who can will have to feed information into this process.)
