The shell should ensure that the temporary env is preserved across the
entire execution of any builtin that can call parse_and_execute (like `fc'
and `read' when using `read -e').

The fc builtin (via edit_and_execute_command) shouldn't try to insert empty
lines into the history list.  The only time this can happen is via
`read -e'.
