Recall that this was emacs version 24.5. Possibly another important 
detail: It's Debian. (I know Debian does you some "favors"; this may 
have been yet another one.)

I finally found the following solution

;; Don't give me here-documents by default.
(add-hook 'sh-mode-hook (lambda ()
          (setq sh-electric-here-document-mode nil)
          (sh-electric-here-document-mode 0)))

I don't know if that's a right way of doing it, but it works.

Thanks for the thought. It definitely nudged me in a right direction.
