On GHCi prompt the arrow (movement) keys create strange character sequences

Fire up GHCi and sit on the arrow down (or left) keys. This is what I get after constantly pressing for some time:

$ ghci
GHCi, version 8.1.20160202: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loaded GHCi configuration from /home/ggreif/.ghci
Prelude> OBOBOBBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBCOCCOCOCCOCCOC

<interactive>:1:1: error:
    Data constructor not in scope: OBOBOBBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBCOCCOCOCCOCCOC

When such a strange letter appears, there is also a blinking of the terminal.

It is not happening on Windows. I have seen it on RHEL5 and RHEL6.

Pretty annoying, especially when you want to quickly navigate in the repl.

This is probably a haskeline bug, but I am coming here to see whether others suffer from it too, i.e. is it reproducible for elseone?
