Yep. readline defaults to emacs-style line editing commands, which is augmented with additional commands like C-u. From the man page:
unix-line-discard (C-u) Kill backward from point to the beginning of the line. The killed text is saved on the kill-ring.
Probably readline wants to do special handling; especially in cases where line-wrap occurs.
$ stty -a speed 38400 baud; rows 24; columns 80; line = 0; intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; ...
The kill setting is the relevant one.
