I've tried setting my shell to tcsh (tcsh-6.15-1.fc8)
but still can't get it to fail the way it does for you.
Have you tried moving aside all of your ~/.??* files?
Maybe one of those is causing the trouble.

If you can reproduce it with an empty home directory,
at least we'll know it something specific to tcsh itself and/or
start-up files it reads from somewhere other than your home dir.

Are you beginning to see why some people prefer not to use tcsh? :-)
