Python2 from MacPorts doesn't do this, and neither does Python3 from
Apple, which makes me think that it's some kind of Python
configuration issue in MacPorts. The same thing happens when using
iTerm2.
For example:
% python3

Do you see this with newer python versions? I don't see it in 3.10,
FWIW. I remember there were some bugs with libedit support in older
versions.
You can try installing py38-gnureadline, which will override the
built-in readline module.

Turns out this is a feature:
