Well, dpkg -S isn't meant to complete on package names. From man dpkg:
-S, --search filename-search-pattern...
Search for a filename from installed packages.
So you should really give a pattern there.
With regard to dpkg -L, you're right, it was completing only on non-essential
packages, fixed in bzr rev1255:
