Before bash-3.1/readline-5.1, key binding did not honor the setting of
convert-meta. The current version treats a key binding exactly the way
readline will when reading a key sequence and dispatching on it,
converting to eight-bit characters as necessary depending on the value
of convert-meta.
Ironically, you were the one who filed the original bug report that
prompted this change. ;-)
