David Edelsohn added the comment:

The portion of the patch to skip the test is necessary because, as mentioned in 
Issue19884, setting enable-meta-key does not work in older releases of 
libreadline. The particular combination of default TERM and libreadline is rare 
in old OS versions and can be worked around by setting TERM=dummy.
