Turns out the brokennes was caused by the Readline 5.0 import
on 2004/10/18, in particular by the following change in <readline/history.h>:
typedef struct _hist_entry {
char *line;
+ char *timestamp; /* char * rather than time_t for read/write */
histdata_t data;
} HIST_ENTRY;
Upgrading to the new bash (bash-3.0.16_1) fixed this for me.
