Yeah... that's how it's _supposed_ to work ... I guess something broke
it.  I'll look and see if I see something...

As far as Ken's change, maybe it's the right thing for his use, I don't
know (most of the existing field behavior is oriented towards making
the "prompt: input" case like the minibuffer or comint works correctly).
It wouldn't be enabled by default, and it does have the advantage of
being very simple to understand.
