I can't reproduce this either on Ubuntu (Python 2.6.6), or in a Windows XP VirtualBox (Python 2.7.1). I don't know what is different between these and my old Windows box that had this bug, or warner's system.
This Stack Overflow article might be relevant. Like the poster of that article, we have code to replace sys.stdout and sys.stderr (in src/allmydata/windows/fixups.py). We do that on Windows but not on Linux. However if that were the problem it wouldn't explain why readline support doesn't work on warner's system, or why it does work in my Windows VM.
