Well, it's sending the query as expected:
> read(0, "select * from sadfasdfas;\n", 4096) = 26
> rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
> send(3, "Q\0\0\0\36select * from sadfasdfas;\0", 31, 0) = 31
> rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_DFL}, {SIG_IGN}, 8) = 0
and getting the error response as expected:
> poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN|POLLERR, revents=POLLIN}], 1, -1) = 1
> recv(3, "E\0\0\0]SERROR\0C42P01\0Mrelation \"sa"..., 16384, 0) = 100
and making absolutely no effort to write anything on stderr:
> rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8) = 0
> read(0, "", 4096) = 0
> rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
> send(3, "X\0\0\0\4", 5, 0) = 5
> rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_DFL}, {SIG_IGN}, 8) = 0
> close(3) = 0

That's just bizarre. I don't see any way that psql wouldn't try to
print the error, unless libpq is giving it bad information about the
PGresult's status (or maybe an empty error message?). I think maybe
there is something busted about your libpq, though it's hard to think of
something that would only affect error reporting. Did you build with
debug enabled, such that you could step through AcceptResult() in psql
and see what's happening?
