It looks to me like something is replacing your command before it gets executed. I have no idea what could be doing that but what is being entered as
/usr/bin/psql -l | grep '$name *|' is then being changed to /usr/bin/psql -c '\du' | grep 'puser *|' so -l is being changed to -c '\du'. Both of these are valid psql commands.
