Ah, thanks! Indeed this reliably reproduces the issue. I was very
surprised to find out that this bug is new in pg13. But then I bisected
it down to this commit:

psql: Catch and report errors while printing result table
Errors (for example I/O errors or disk full) while printing out result
tables were completely ignored, which could result in silently
truncated output in scripts, for example. Fix by adding some basic
error checking and reporting.

which is where this message was added. So it turns out that this has
*always* been a problem ... we just didn't know.
Due to lack of complaints, I'm inclined to apply this only back to pg13.
(And, yes, I'm to remove the %m too, because clearly that was a mistake.)
