I can reproduce this with both -Q and -Q -nw in latest master (details
below).  I also noticed that (any?) non-self-insertion keyboard events
reproduce the behavior, e.g. `t TAB' adds anoth `>' at the prompt, and
then `C-g' to kill the *Completions* buffer adds another `>', and then
RET returns: 
^L^Lt: not found [No such file or directory]
(Then ^L are really control characters.)
