Thanks for the report. I confirmed this.

bash-5.2$ read -et 0.5 hello
exit

This is a regression introduced by the following commit

commit 2fe2e8197eb8f05c22a23b9d1e115d74febc8325 (HEAD)

    application-settable readline timeouts

This was introduced after the following discussion:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2021-02/msg00059.html

I checked the final version of the patch I submitted then, but my
patch doesn't seem to have this problem. I guess some difference
between my patch and the change actually applied would be causing the
problem.

Note: I submitted the final version of the patch in private
communications, so it is not found in the mailing-list archive. For
reproducibility, I attach to this email my final version of the patch
set I sent to Chet: r0021-patches.tar.gz. The patch set applies to
commit 26db5626.

I'll later check the details.
