I can confirm this; in fact, it's weirder than Phil says -- if the prompt exactly fills the width of the screen, then the last character is not printed and the first character typed goes at the far right of the screen; the second character typed causes the first character to be re-echoed at the left edge (on top of the first character of the prompt) and then the second character appears next to it. A ctrl-L clears all this up until the next prompt is printed. None of this happens in 3.0.5.
