I think https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/issues/323
is an earlier report of the same core issue.  That report
doesn't contain details, just links to older reports from
around the time bash-4.2 was released.

In many/most of those older reports, the issue was due to a
change in the expansion behavior from 4.1; 4.2 patch 29
adjusted it.  The #323 bash-completion ticket seems to be
conflating the issue in 4.2 (prior to patch 29) with the
existing bash-completion issue.
