IMHO the current behavior is broken:

'select 2'

2
(1 row)
Another try with one -c but with similar results:
sh> psql -c "SELECT 1; SELECT 'hello';"
?column?
----------
hello
(1 row)
sh> psql -V
psql (PostgreSQL) 9.3.1
It's not broken. All this behaviour is documented fairly explicitly. See
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-psql.html> For
example, regarding Fabio's example, which is actually very different
from Jim's, the docs say: "only the result of the last SQL command is
returned."
If you want to argue that it should be enhanced, then do. But it's
acting as designed and as documented.
I suspect changing this might actually have more wrinkles that you
imagine, but I could be wrong.
Incidentally, both of you could probably achieve what you apparently
want with:
echo 'some sql here' | psql
