I've added the following to the manual:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
          And finally, bash’s readline shall not use key bindings like
          ‘C-j’ to commands.  Disable reading the readline
          initialization file:

               [ $TERM = "dumb" ] && INPUTRC=/dev/null
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I don't use bash myself; could you pls check whether this works as expected?
