Home and End broken in Intrepid when using fish shell SSH from PuTTY

[Endolith]

Binary package hint: base-files

I regularly log into my machine over SSH using PuTTY in Windows. My default login shell is /usr/bin/fish. After upgrading to Intrepid, the Home and End keys are broken.

When I press the Home key it displays [1~
When I press the End key it displays [4~

If I run bash, the keys work as expected.

I'm guessing this has to do with /etc/inputrc, which has these lines:

# allow the use of the Home/End keys
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line

Other inputrc bugs are filed with base-files, so I chose that.

Related thread seems to say that UNcommenting these lines fixes the problem? I don't get it. These keys definitely don't work for me, and these lines are definitely uncommented.

Sometimes it just appends the codes as I type them:

> test test test [1~[4~
> test test test [1~[4~[4~[1~[4~[1~[4~[1~[4~[4~[4~ [1~[4~ [1~[4~ [1~[4~
> test test [1~ [4~ test [1~ test [4~testetestestes[4~

Other times, pressing Home replaces the whole line:

> test test test
> [1~

If I use the up arrow to bring back a previous command and then press End, it does this:

> tail
> tail /var/log/daemon.log.0
> tail [4~

On one computer, if I run bash, pressing Home or End produces a tilde instead

bash:
~$ fdsafdsafdasfdsa~~~~~~

fish:
~> fdasfdsfafdsafa[1~[4~[1~[4~

On another computer ,fish behaves the same way, but Home and End in bash works correctly. Both are running Jaunty.
