This is bash tracking the values of the stty terminal characters and binding
keys accordingly.  (I was mistaken in an earlier post -- though the code to
do this has been in readline for quite a while, it was only enabled in
bash-3.0/readline-5.0.)

I will probably make this a settable option in the next release.
