It seems that that's actually a problem with the pager (and it's not really the pagers fault either)...
I'd guess you're using less as the pager, if so try (before starting
psql) doing:
LESS="-X"
export LESS
If that "fixes" it for you, the issue is that the termcap init/deinit for your terminal clears the output.
