I think I fat-fingered something, because now I can only reproduce back
to v13. Bisecting says the crash started at the v13-era commit

commit 2f9661311b83dc481fc19f6e3bda015392010a40

Represent command completion tags as structs

which is unsurprising because that's what introduced the
Assert we're hitting.

BTW, with Asserts disabled it works fine:

$ psql postgres
psql (19devel)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# \parse s

postgres=# execute s;
EXECUTE

which is another reason not to start throwing an error.
(I did not look into how come that works... the correct
command tag must be getting filled in later, but where?)
