That is certainly new enough.  We added a MinGW workaround to fix a
problem with extra newlines coming from psql, but you might have a
configuration that doesn't need the workaround.

Do you need this line in psql/print.c?

    #ifndef __MINGW32__
        /* for some reason MinGW outputs an extra newline, so this supresses it */
        fputc('\n', fout);
    #endif

That might be the cause of your problem?  If you have it try removing it and recompile.
