Mac port, v27.2, python-mode v0.26.1.  I have a hard time understanding how this would not reproduce, as (buffer-substring-no-properties  prompt-end (point-max)) clearly takes all of the text (multi-lines included) from the prompt onward.  I took a look here <https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/b064ddd3f600ed28e62b09d556ecced5f80d9883/lisp/progmodes/python.el#L2710> (python-mode v0.27.1) and the input is gathered in the same manner in the post-command-hook.  The “repeated” lines in #6 are in the *Python-font-lock* buffer, btw.
