“Test needed” is meant to mean someone needs help producing the problem, but people also seem use it to request a refined test case for the test suite.

A test case is always nice, although in this case it is a bit tricky. I can try to knock one up use the existing infrastructure in test_builtin.PtyTests. A similar test case could probably be made for the interactive interpreter (Issue 12869), but might be more involved, and I don’t think there is any existing code to copy from.
