I forgot that Mac OS provides "/usr/lib/libreadline.dylib" as a symlink to libedit, so installing readline via Homebrew doesn't (and shouldn't) replace it.
To point Racket at your Homebrew-installred readline, go to the "lib" directory adjacent to the "bin" directory that contains "racket", and run ln -s /usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.dylib That way, Racket will find the "libreadline.dylib" from Homebrew instead of the not-libreadline from the OS, since Racket looks in its own "lib" first.
