Almost certainly, this is not psql's fault, but rather a bug in the
readline or libedit library it's using for command history.

If you're using libedit, I can't say that I'm astonished, as we've
seen a depressingly large number of bugs reported in various versions
of libedit.

In any case, try to get a newer version of that library; or if you've
linked psql to libedit, consider rebuilding against libreadline.
