I can't reproduce this using bash-5.0. I took your script, ran it, then
bound C-x to execute "echo abc":
K=( ' ' ! '\"' \# $ % \& \' \( \) \* + , - . /
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : \; \< = \> \?
@ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
P Q R S T U V W X Y Z \[ '\\' \] ^ _
\` a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o
p q r s t u v w x y z \{ \| \} \~ )
for ((k=0; k<95; k++)); do
bind -r "\C-x\C-${K[k]}"
bind -r "\C-x${K[k]}"
done
# bind -r "\C-x"
bind -x '"\C-x":"echo abc"'
And hitting ^X gives me "abc". It doesn't matter whether or not I remove
the binding for \C-x itself.
