I've got the same problem with my fresh Linux From Scratch installation! The only thing I can add on this problem is it only appears when I use a virtual terminal such as xterm and gnome-terminal (that use pts*). With a "real" terminal (tty*) the behaviour is as usual and works fine! As I use the same bash/readline in the different terminals with the same settings (i.e. everything with UTF-8, locales, etc...) I just wonder if the problem can't come from one of the Xserver's libraries. Changing the keyboard driver with Xorg doesn't resolve the problem (evdev/xkb etc...). Keys work fine with Gnome Desktop but something is wrong between the Xserver/Window manager and virtual terminals.
