We are miscommunicating. The way you expect it to work is, in my
opinion, a bad result -- various histories interspersed.
It seems to me that the crucial thing is for each Bash process
to have its own separate history.
Do you think that behavior would be bad?

Only if they share one single history file. If each has its own
history file, each can handle it as if it were your only Bash process.
