Formerly only M-p, and M-n worked.  M-r/M-s could *appear* to work if
you had already used M-p to save some partial input, but it wasn't
current.

C-c C-j, then?  Can you see any harm in having such a binding?  In the
terminal shell, since input is not a ring but a stack, you can just hold
down the arrow and get all the way back to your stranded input in a
hurry.  This doesn't work for a ring of history like comint's.
