This is mentioned in bug 8694 in Bugzilla.
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8694.
Redhat sez:
"The sourcing of user's .inputrc is fixed in the setup/etcskel in Raw
Hide."
However, there is a workaround (gleaned from the same bug report); you
want to set the environment variable INPUTRC to point at ~/.inputrc.
That will prevent /etc/inputrc from overriding ~/.inputrc.
