AFAIK psql just pipes and waits ( and I've piped through some programs
of mine which could normally show bizarre behaviour if psql did
otherwise )This seems like you tuned the pager command or the default
less options, from man less:
>>>
-e or --quit-at-eof
Causes less to automatically exit the second time it
reaches end-of-file. By default, the
only way to exit less is via the "q" command.

-E or --QUIT-AT-EOF
Causes less to automatically exit the first time it
reaches end-of-file.
<<<

This can come from a variety of sources, see man less, search for lesskey, ...

Check also PAGER and PSQL_PAGER, and .psqlrc and friends, you may have
some things there.
