Thanks Pavel, it works great now!

It seems that the standard Ubuntu .bashrc had "export
HISTCONTROL=ignoredups" in it.

As I searched for the solution of this problem I noticed that more
people had this issue and it made me think about what the Right Thing
would be to do in this case.

After starting the subshell wouldn't it be better for mc to append
":ignorespace" to $HISTCONTROL if there's no ignorespace nor ignoreboth
already present?
