Thanks for the report. This has been there forever. The default readline
vi command-mode keymap has ^E bound to switch to emacs editing mode. Since
bash uses `set -o emacs' for that, the bash readline initialization code
unbinds the key sequence. It needs to make sure that the function it's
bound to is still rl_emacs_editing_mode.

Here's a patch that fixes it.
