Instead, the mode remains in normal mode (|:| prompt) until the command completes execution and returns to the shell prompt (|>| prompt).
This is not a bug. Readline should not enter vi insert mode until it is
called again to read a command. It doesn't know that vi insert mode will
be appropriate. What if the command being executed were `set -o emacs'?
