Apple managed to improve libedit's tab completion from "sometimes dumps core" in 10.6 to "fails entirely" in 10.7, so you just plain can't use the built-in libedit. http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2011-07/msg01642.php (I've filed an Apple bug report about it, I suggest others do likewise.
