After debugging a little bit, it turns out that this is due to the non-zero
value of octave_interrupt_immediately, which is set just before starting
to read a line with readline, in gnu_readline::do_readline. This prevents
the catch clause to be evaluated.

What should I do? Reset octave_interrupt_immediately to 0 before
executing the callback? Is it safe?
