Thank you very much for your answer and your explanations.
I should have read the doc more carefully.

I was recently confused by this too, but the psql \print documentation
clarified it for me:

       \p or \print
           Print the current query buffer to the standard output. If the
-->        current query buffer is empty, the most recently executed =
query
is
-->        printed instead.
