A great suggestion.  I also thought of two other things:

- If the INPUTRC environment variable is set, you may be reading
   something different from what you think

- How and whether a terminal generates meta- keys will clearly affect
   the specific bindings you mentioned. So you may need to dig into
   the specific terminal and into stty settings for the terminal
   driver
