Yeah, I see the same behavior, but bisecting reportbug code, up to
known working branch (4.6, for example), does not trigger any
implementation error, and even old versions are showing that behavior.

I first thought about python2.5 upgrade, but even with 2.5.4-1 I got
the same situation. I fear it's something related to libreadline{5,6}.

Last lines of 'which-pkg-broke reportbug' returns:

Can you confirm you upgraded readline stuff around the time this issue shown up?
