That's it!
I wasn't able to fix the escape sequences by adding \]: the program actually displays a ] and readline fails all the same. But if I remove the escape sequences entirely (giving up on bolding text and such) the editing works!
Thanks a lot -- this is really going to make using this program much easier.
