Yes, so I was wondering if REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW also should use
CMDTAG_SELECT like CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW does.

Maybe true. The patch that I mentioned upthread tries to change
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW so that it register the rowcount into
its query completion so that pg_stat_statements can track
the number of processed rows. But display_rowcount for
CMDTAG_REFRESH_MATERIALIZED_VIEW still should be false
in cmdtaglist.h to avoid the change of the completion tag output.
