This is more of a documentation problem. Unless you use the `-m' option,
the commands act on the current keymap, which is either `emacs' or
(usually) `vi-insert'.  The man page isn't clear on that.

Using 'bind -u -m emacs-ctlx edit-and-execute-command' works.  Similarly
for 'bind -u -m emacs-meta yank-pop'.
