I can reproduce the problem here, too. Cedric had a good idea:
# PS1 with six letters works:
$ env - PS1=xxxxxx HOME=$HOME ENV=/
/home/gisburn/ksh93/ast_ksh_20080624/build_sparc_32bit/arch/sol11.sun4/bin/ksh
-o gmacs -o multiline +E
xxxxxxls
-la
xxxxxx
# PS1 with five letters works:
$ env - PS1=01234 HOME=$HOME ENV=/
/home/gisburn/ksh93/ast_ksh_20080624/build_sparc_32bit/arch/sol11.sun4/bin/ksh
-o gmacs -o multiline +E
01234exit
01234
# PS1 with four letters works:
$ env - PS1=0123 HOME=$HOME ENV=/
/home/gisburn/ksh93/ast_ksh_20080624/build_sparc_32bit/arch/sol11.sun4/bin/ksh
-o gmacs -o multiline +E

# PS1 with three letters works:
$ env - PS1=012 HOME=$HOME ENV=/
/home/gisburn/ksh93/ast_ksh_20080624/build_sparc_32bit/arch/sol11.sun4/bin/ksh

012
# PS1 with two letters _FAILS_:

/home/gisburn/ksh93/ast_ksh_20080624/build_sparc_32bit/arch/sol11.sun4/bin/ksh
