What is happening is that psql is simply assuming that the first "TO"
may be the name of a column you are about to rename. It's the same
as:

ALTER TABLE any_table RENAME mycolumn TO

We can probably have the tab-completion code call up a list of column
names for comparison: not sure if is worth the trouble though.
