repl: fix error message printing

The REPL implementation would strip away the first and last character
of a formatted error message if it ended with `]` (but with the
obviously missing check for a starting `]`), leading to things like
`Uncaught rror: foo[a` being printed for input like `Error: foo[a]`.
