[issue7322] Socket timeout can cause file-like readline() method to lose data

Your suggestion sounds good to me.

I still think that it is a common failure mode in a client server transaction for the server to fail to send a (complete) line that the client is expecting, and vice versa, requiring a timeout, but not necessarily a "restart from scratch".  Often the client/server protocol has a useful checkpoint to restart from short of start from scratch.  In the case of many protocols, that would be "client issues a new command".
