Initial Comment:
Bash completion fails to account for soft links properly:

  nslater at mahora: ~ $ mkdir -p dir-a/dir-b
  nslater at mahora: ~ $ ln -s dir-a/dir-b dir-c
  nslater at mahora: ~ $ touch doc-a
  nslater at mahora: ~ $ touch doc-b
  nslater at mahora: ~ $ cd dir-c
  nslater at mahora: ~/dir-c $ cat ../doc-
  doc-a doc-b
  nslater at mahora: ~/dir-c $ cat ../doc-a
  cat: ../doc-a: No such file or directory
  nslater at mahora: ~/dir-c $ cat ../doc-ab
  cat: ../doc-b: No such file or directory

Message:
I'm not sure if this is a bash-completion bug, same thing happens with vanilla bash as well.  David, thoughts?
