FWIW, I see the same thing. After the extra period appears, if I hit
Ctrl-L to clear the screen, the extra period is still there, but if I hit
Ctrl-A (beginning of line), then Ctrl-L, the extra period disappears. If
I move the cursor back and forth on the line while the extra period is
there, hitting Ctrl-L now and then, various weird things happen with the
characters moving about on the command line.
It isn't just periods at the end of lines - it's any character at the end
of the uncompleted line.
