Hi all,
I saw the bug and simply commented the offending lines from my .bashrc
so there's no more :-

# enable bash completion in interactive shells
if ! shopt -oq posix; then
  if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
    . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
  elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
    . /etc/bash_completion
  fi
fi


in my  ~/.bashrc and it works at least for file-level completions on
the terminal emulator. So it's a sort of workaround. Looking forward
for the fix so I can re-enable it in my ~/.bashrc.
