I investigated further, and now I think this IS our fault.
Consider the following transcript:

    $ touch x
    $ darcs rec -l x
    Recording changes in "x":

    addfile ./x
    Shall I record this change? (1/1)  [ynWsfvplxdaqjk], or ? for help: (1)
    What is the patch name? (2)

At prompt (1), ^L does not work.  At prompt (2), ^L does work.
Furthermore, http://trac.haskell.org/haskeline/wiki/KeyBindings
indicates that ^L has worked upstream since 0.5.
