I agree that there's no functional benefit; it's a matter of consistency.
In particular, psql has always allowed you to write multiple SQL commands
per line:
SELECT 2+2; SELECT x FROM tab; SELECT y FROM othertab;
and as of yesterday pgbench supports that as well. So allowing multiple
backslash commands on a line improves consistency both with psql and with
pgbench's own behavior, IMV.
