I have also seen this bug.
A workaround to this is to type :
	"rm -i foo"  followed by Ctrl-J instead of Return
Ctrl-J sends a Line-feed, 
Return is probably mapped on Carriage-Return + Line-feed ; it seems that,
at the first entry, bash interprets both CR and LF and as two 
end of records instead one.
This bug also appears when bash encounters a "read" command inside a script.
