Whether psqlrc is being processed or not is immaterial to the behavior you
are seeing because -c will not resolve the variable reference prior to
sending the command to the server.

If you have other non-variable definitions in psqlrc that could affect the
-c command (or its output - like \pset instructions) those will now be
applied before sending the command whereas before they would not be.

(admittedly I'm not reading the source code nor have experimented to draw
this conclusion)
