The comments on that change say:

   A change between readline-6.1 and readline-6.2 to prevent the readline input
  hook from being called too frequently had the side effect of causing delays
  when reading pasted input on systems such as Mac OS X.  This patch fixes
  those delays while retaining the readline-6.2 behavior.

I guess perhaps someone thought this was only a  problem for if it was 
_compiled_ on macos; are you saying that this can be triggered by using
a MacOS terminal to log into an ubuntu box running readline?
