I cannot reproduce. Do a "set -x" in a shell, then invoke the
completion, capture the output, and paste it to either the
alioth.debian.org or bugzilla.redhat.com bug trackers.

Just a thought: maybe you have a "command not found" handler installed
which outputs the above, search for command_not_found_handle in the bash
man page and try "type command_not_found_handle".

Sure. Almost all software is. But without specifying the details
statements like that are pretty much FUD and not likely to be helpful to
anyone IMO.
