Bug reference:      13674
Logged by:          Matthijs van der Vleuten
Email address:      postgresql@zr40.nl
PostgreSQL version: 9.4.5
Operating system:   Mac OS X
Description:

Reproduction:

1. Create file a.sql with the following contents:

BEGIN;
\i b.sql
ROLLBACK;

2. Create an empty file b.sql (smallest reproduction; bug also occurs with
non-empty files)
3. In psql, execute: \e a.sql
4. In $EDITOR, save and exit

Actual output:

~/test % psql -Xe
psql (9.4.5)
Type "help" for help.

zr40=# \e foo2.sql
BEGIN;
BEGIN
\i: extra argument "ROLLBACK;" ignored
zr40=#

Expected output:

~/test % psql -Xe
psql (9.4.5)
Type "help" for help.

zr40=# \e foo2.sql
BEGIN;
BEGIN
ROLLBACK;
ROLLBACK
zr40=#
