Maybe, just maybe... ;-) the cause lies in what you use as a shebang in your 
script. If I do:
$ sh
I get a dash subshell on my system which has apparently no command line editing 
with readline configured and I get the cursor movement sequences printed 
instead of being translated/executed by the terminal.

On the other side changing the shebang to "#/bin/sh" instead of "#/bin/bash" 
didn't change the behaviour of that little script with the bound F1 key, works 
just as before...

Kind regards,
Stefan
