Bash stays in the secondary prompt (PS2) after completing a command with

Subject: Bash stays in the secondary prompt (PS2) after completing a command with `edit-and-execute-command'
Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 07:42:30 -0500

This issue came up in the following help-bash thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-bash/2017-05/msg00001.html

Write: <echo '> then hit return. Bash will output the secondary
prompt, because it expects the user to close the single quote. Run
`edit-and-execute-command' to fix the input (e.g. <echo 'x'>). Bash
will then execute the command, but it'll output the secondary prompt
again, expecting the user to close the single quote.

bash-4.4$ echo '
>
echo 'x'
x
