Can't tab complete in psql

Question

For some reason, tab-completion isn't working in psql on my Mac. I can tab complete table and field names just fine in Ubuntu, but pressing TAB fails to work in Mac OS X.

I can successfully use my Up/Down arrow keys to navigate back and forth in psql command history, so it's weird that TAB isn't working properly.

Configuration:

I can reproduce this issue even with .psqlrc disabled (psql -X).

System:

$ specs psql bash brew terminal os
