On a newish computer with F25, I see this at the command line when I type
in a command that's not installed:

[matt@envious ~]$ pv
bash: pv: command not found...

and then it just sits there until I ctrl-c or similar. I assume what's
happening is it's trying to check for what package provides that command,
but failing.

Has anyone else seen this? What can I do about it?

Apologies if this is a common error--it's resistant at least to the search
terms I can think of.

You can sometimes see external stuff by running this:

 (set -x; pv )

If this is entire bash-internal then it won't help, and if it happens in bash's prompt logic it won't help, but this might:

 set -x; pv

Sounds like others have named the offending thing; this is just debugging help.
