ctrl-w oddity on bash-4.4

I'm seeing some strange behavior and don't know if it's a bug or intended.

Reproducer:
1. env INPUTRC=/dev/null bash --norc
2. set -o vi
3. true --foo=bar
4. up arrow, then left arrow to put the cursor on the equals sign
5. press ctrl-w, nothing happens

I bisected master and found it was introduced in 4.4. Then I bisected devel
and found it was introduced by
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/commit/?h=devel&id=ccb4014f23204c5d6996dd64b5d0c824ae27469b

If this is intentional then I'd be curious about the rationale.

Thanks,
Aron
