mc-4.5.55 sets environment variable HISTCONTROL to "ignorespace".  Either 
it's not set by MC due to a bug, or it's unset in your statup scripts, or 
your bash ignores it.  Run this command from mc:

echo $HISTCONTROL

Try setting HISTCONTROL=ignorespace and then check if bash remembers in
its history commands starting with a space.
