psql misbehaves because of a simple typo

Hi,

Is it me (who hasn't read some FAQ or a doc/man page) or
it's a bug in the psql interactive terminal?

A sample session is provided at the bottom. I just typed
a simple CREATE TABLE command and did not put closing
parenthesis (I was typing too fast); I did put a semicolon, however.
psql gave me no error message whatsoever and accepted whatever
input afterwards and ignored it with the exception of \commands.

Was this reported? Do you need some other info?
Logs?

o I have a RHL7.1 and the tarball of 7.2b3 downloaded
from the website.

o # ./configure --enable-nls --enable-multibyte --enable-locale --enable-debug --enable-cassert

Here is the session:
