 Me neither offhand; see readline(3) for details.  Local settings take 
precedence over global ones, so try making an empty ~/.inputrc file to see 
if the symptoms go away.

 FWIW I have these settings in my ~/.inputrc file:

set convert-meta on
M-C-i: dynamic-complete-history
Meta-s: forward-search-history

and I have never really bothered to examine the global settings forced 
upon me by the distribution.  I found them disturbing in surprising ways, 
breaking my habits developed with `readline' over more than 20 years.
