I reproduced the issue with IPython 8.32.0 and Python 3.13.2.  It
seems that there is no problem with IPython on Python 3.12.

One workaround is to disable native completion:
M-x python-shell-completion-native-turn-off
It will be a little more inconvenient than the native completion.

We need to investigate the cause.

Liu Hui, do you have any idea?
