Right, so that's using a version of libreadline that's supplied by
Homebrew (the /usr/local/opt path is the giveaway on that).
I don't know whether these things represent an intentional change
of libreadline's behavior in Homebrew's build, or a bug, but in
either case you should take the issue to the Homebrew support forums.
If it's intentional, I imagine there's a way to get the old behavior
back.
Also, libreadline is fairly configurable, so maybe this boils down
to some unintentional change in your ~/.inputrc ?

Thank you very much, Tom. It seems, then, that we have the “microscopic”
explanation. I’ll have to to a fair bit of research to find out what to do to
fix this problem.
