I tried exactly that and it seems to work. I put only that one line in a
script,
assigned the F1 key with bind to it and it outputs just the string I typed
before when I hit F1 like intended. No problems with cursor movements,
backspace and any other command line editing.

This reminds me of programs (ed, rcs, telnet etc.) which don't use readline and
have less command line editing capabilities. Backspace should work, though.
