As on my systems the bug is not present,
it can be a relative recent introduction.
I've introduced this bug inadvertently when releasing base-files-4.1.
I'll fix it towards the weekend.
As long as you're updating base-files anyway, maybe you could implement
one of the previously-discussed proposals for showing a prompt of "#"
instead of "$" in shells with sufficient privileges. Unfortunately, I
don't remember if there was ever a consensus reached on exactly how that
should be done.
