You're on the right track.  The fix is to pay attention to the values
of forced_interactive and jobs_m_flag (the variables set by -i and -m,
respectively) when setting job control in init_noninterative().  I've
attached a patch that does the right thing.

When you run bash with -i, interactive and interactive_shell are set
when initialize_job_control is called, so the correct initialization
happens.  It's only later that job control gets turned off inappropriately.
