Indeed, that's more or less what happens.

That works for the common case of bracketed pastes when you're at the
top level (and the vi-insertion key binding is already the default),
but is incomplete.

It doesn't work for things like vi overwrite mode, or to read movement
keys for vi's delete-to or change-to commands, or the replace command
in your original report from July, so that required a little more work.

That updated code is in the readline devel branch on savannah.
