I'm not sure about what's causing this, anyway it can be brought back to the original behavior by adding a couple of lines to /etc/inputrc (from the readline package):

"\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Keypresses from initial bugreport are in inputrc already and CTRL+left/right is working fine here.
The alt-left/right thing looks useless to me, alt+left/right is not standard for word-walking through the console.

And

"\e[1;3C": forward-word
"\e[1;3D": backward-word

for Alt-Left/Right

Well, my terminal at the moment produces 5C and 5D, which are obviously not suited for inputrc... This happens only on one of my two computers, though, and I'm not sure what's the reason.
