Ctrl + W also works:

    $ bind -q unix-word-rubout
    unix-word-rubout can be invoked via "\C-w".

not for me - it prints "[A", as well as triggering a "bell", but "lock up" for
me is about 1 second - however note i am using "Cygwin.bat" and custom
terminal [1].

also note if you chose to start using "Ctrl + W" it would avoid the problem, as
a mistaken "Ctrl, Up" would be the same as simply "Up"
