Before fiddling around with gdb (which I'm not familiar with, sorry), 
I've made additional observations.
First, the issue occurs regardless of how the terminal is started.
Then, it seems to occur in interactive bash or tcsh only, not in dash, 
or within the following loop started from bash:
while true; do sleep 1; stty -a; done
In the latter cases everything works as expected.
Maybe it's readline() trying to keep the flag consistent with its locale?
(If that's the case, it still doesn't explain why it only fails on 
Windows 10.)
