This is the commit that changed it:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2007-03/msg00270.php
It was in fact never supposed to work, but we failed to detect it. I had
to modify my test scripts that did something like psql -c "VACUUM foo;
SELECT ..." because of that as well. It's highly likely that it'll brake
other people's scripts as well, but I don't think there's much we can do
about it :(.

I'm surprised this hasn't been noticed before, the change was made back
in March. Are you sure there's more queries like that that need to be
modified?
