It has everything to do with your stty settings.  ^v is normally mapped to
lnext (literal next-character) on terminals, and readline 5.0 apparently
tries to honor your stty settings (where lnext is a perfect match to the
readline function quoted-insert) in preference to your .inputrc.
Meanwhile, emacs likes ^q as quoted-insert, although terminals usually
default ^q to start, start overrides lnext if both are given the same
character, and stop (usually ^s) without start will let you hang a
terminal.  So, try "stty lnext ^q stop undef start undef" and see if that
helps with your desired setting for ^v.

As to whether readline should be prefering your stty settings over your
.inputrc, I will have to do more investigation.
