the problem's not bash, I believe it's screen.

do:
1) open gnome-terminal
2) type screen and press enter
3) type some words (space separated)
4) hit ctrl and left arrow key
Result: you get ;5D instead of going back word by word

Same problem with ctrl-right
Until this is fixed, you can use the alternatives: ALT-B and ALT-F

same for irssi, do:
1) screen irssi
2) type some words (space separated)
3) hit ctrl and left arrow key
Result: you get 5D instead of going back word by word

Same problem with ctrl-right, alt-left and alt-right
ALT-B and ALT-F work fine
