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.
