This "problem" has been recognized before.  I think a possible solution is to 
make psql recognize the error (the error code regime in libpq would have to 
be extended for that), recognize that the user didn't specify a database, and 
then tell him something like:

ERROR: no such database "postgres"
HINT: Since no database was specified explicitly, the name of the current user 
was taken as the database name.
