Tested with basic shell RIOT firmware (examples/default). When I type up-arrow, I get this error:
root@node-a8-155:~# miniterm.py /dev/ttyA8_M3 500000 -e

It looks the python installation has problems.

I cannot reproduce your bug.
I have launched an experiment on Saclay site with one A8 node and compiled default firmware from RIOT (2017.04-branch)
> make ETHOS_BAUDRATE=500000 BOARD=iotlab-a8-m3 -C examples/default clean all
After I go to A8 node, flash firmware and read serial port with success:
root@node-a8-174:~/A8# miniterm.py /dev/ttyA8_M3 500000 -e

I could also have the shell commands until I hit the up/down arrow on my keyboard.
