Interesting.  I’ve only noticed it in 25.2 and 25.3 on macOS (installed from 
brew).  I can’t reproduce it in 25.2 on Ubuntu 17.10.

This is reproducible for me too on macOS.

I can also reproduce it by running the Mailman 3 shell from git checkout.  That 
made me think it could be readline related, but I built a Mailman 3 without 
readline support and it made no difference.  I haven’t figured out what the 
common denominator is, but I edebug’d it down to comint-send-string and then 
process-send-string.  There the trail ended with C code and I haven’t gdb’d 
into that.  It seems like some state in process-send-string gets confused and 
starts echoing the input.
