readline-5.2 patch 6 didn't fix the problem, the bugzilla entry is
still open.

I can reproduce it with:

1. gcc -x c - -lreadline <<EOF
#include <stdio.h>
#include <readline/readline.h>

char **compl(const char *text, int start, int end) {
        return NULL;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        rl_attempted_completion_function = compl;
        readline("> \001\e[m\002");
        return 0;
}
EOF
2. mkdir foo; cd foo; touch bar
3. LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ../a.out
4. type xxxx, (C-a) and (<TAB>) three times
