I'd say any test failure without an obvious explanation is serious
enough to report as a bug. See http://bugs.python.org/

Do you mean you can't get previous lines in your Python command history

support in to your experimental build. I can't remember exactly what the
deal is, but I know that readline is GPL licensed, so it may not come as
part of the standard distribution.
