bash and $LANG and meta-key bindings

I upgraded from 6.2 to 6.3-prerelease and I noticed something very
strange with bash (or perhaps readline).
I have had for many hears this in my .bash_login:
export LANG=en_US.ISO8859-15
This makes 8-bit characters come out as accented characters instead of
character codes like <C6>. However, with the upgrade to 6.3pre,
something has changed. Same bash binary.
If I set $LANG like this, certain meta-bindings like this do not work:
bind '"\M-p": history-search-backward'
bind '"\M-n": history-search-forward'
Before the upgrade, m-p would go to the previous command or the
previous command like the one that was partially typed in. Now, it
produces a : prompt. If I remove the LANG setting from my
.bash_login, it works fine.
So either I can have proper accented characters or I can have working
meta key bindings with bash (and readline), but not both. Anyone know
of a fix for this? Am I setting LANG in the wrong place? I have
tried putting these bindings into my .inputrc but that didn't help.
