Well, that's just odd.  Do you have any nondefault extensions loaded into
the database?  I notice that the normal message for a missing database
looks different:

alpha=# \c alpha2
FATAL:  database "alpha2" does not exist
Previous connection kept

and in fact the string "no such database" appears nowhere in the core
Postgres code.  So I'm not sure what's throwing that error, but I guess
it must be some add-on code.

BTW, the semicolon is superfluous, although I suspect that removing
it won't change anything.
