A permissions problem,...

compounded by the fact that sh was in use at the time.

The dialog box is normal when you have the old 3.0 bash as /bin/sh, but
upgraded readline successfully.

Phooey - now that you have gotten rid of the problem, I can't do any more
debugging via your system.  I'm still trying to reproduce the failure, by
manually sourcing /etc/profile.d/00bash.sh, but so far it seems I am just
catching list users, like you, reporting failure that is solved by a
simple cp, but where the postinstall script did not work.
