Bug#651721: bash: M-f, M-b, M-Bksp broken on upgrade

Package: bash
Version: 4.2-1
Severity: normal

Hello, I upgraded to the most recent bash package from 4.1-3 and
discovered that the M-f (forward word), M-b (backward word), and M-Bksp
(kill previous word) shortcuts had broken.

I know there was a new /etc/bash.bashrc installed, but reverting to my
previous version (which only globally enabled bash_completion) did not
fix the issue.

This looks like a more-than- or something-other-than- bash bug. I
manually reinstalled 4.1-3, but the issue was not fixed. The other
packages upgraded at the same time do not appear obviously relevant (the
list is included below), so I think I need some help troubleshooting
the issue.

Thanks,
Ross
