[SOLVED] Several keymaps broken in Bash

Question

Update: This issue has disappeared.
At least the "us", "de-latin1" and "de-latin1-nodeadkeys" keymaps are broken for me in Bash. It's the same in X and in virtual consoles.
When I press "y", nothing happens. Only when I press another key the "y" is being printed followed by the other character I typed. It's like a dead key. Note that this happens even though "y" is placed differently in "us" and "de-latin1*".
In X the "y" is the only error I've found. In virtual consoles there are more keys that behave abnormally. In both de-latin1* keymaps "öäüß" all print different characters (foreign letters or punctuation).
Reloading the keymap with "loadkeys" in the virtual console didn't help.
Removing my .bashrc didn't help.
It doesn't matter if I set Bash as my default shell or if I open Bash from a zsh session.
A newly created user account experiences exactly the same behavior.
I haven't seen this error in other distributions on the same machine.
All three keymaps work fine in zsh, be it in X or in a virtual console.
I'm out of ideas on how to approach this issue.

Answer 1

The new user account should have been in emacs-mode as I didn't change it. My regular user is using vi-mode.
I'm pretty sure I didn't change /etc/inputrc:
# do not bell on tab-completion
#set bell-style none
set meta-flag on
set input-meta on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
$if mode=emacs
# for linux console and RH/Debian xterm
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line
"\e[5~": beginning-of-history
"\e[6~": end-of-history
"\e[7~": beginning-of-line
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[2~": quoted-insert
"\e[5C": forward-word
"\e[5D": backward-word
"\e\e[C": forward-word
"\e\e[D": backward-word
"\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word
# for rxvt
"\e[8~": end-of-line
# for non RH/Debian xterm, can't hurt for RH/DEbian xterm
"\eOH": beginning-of-line
"\eOF": end-of-line
# for freebsd console
"\e[H": beginning-of-line
"\e[F": end-of-line
$endif
The .inputrc from my regular user account shouldn't cause the newly created one to misbehave.
Any more info I can give?
