Well, I've not changed any local settings to do this. This is a
standard stock install of debian, no customisations to xterm or vim.
Many other people can confirm the same behaviour, both running debian,
and other distributions (e.g. gentoo).
There may well be a configuration setting combination required to get
this all working correctly; in which case my bug report becomes
"standard install configuation is wrong". But either way, a bug
persists. A default install does not behave as expected.

Right. I've looked at that, and tried each of the values 0 to 3:
0: works in vim fails in readline
1: fails in vim fails in readline
2(default): fails in vim fails in readline
3: fails in vim fails in readline
I.e. I cannot find any value that makes bash work. Each setting
produces different output, yet none of them is correct.
