I'm affraid that you are right, tcsh 6.03 will indeed do this:

   dormouse ~ 182 -> complete troff 'c@-m@`ls /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.* | sed s,^.\*/tmac\\.,,`@'
   dormouse ~ 183 -> troff -m^D
   a      bib    e      indent r      scover skeep  vcat   
   an     cp     imagen os     s      sdisp  srefs  vgrind 
   dormouse ~ 183 -> troff -man^D
   an 
   dormouse ~ 184 -> troff -min<TAB>
   dormouse ~ 184 -> troff -mindent 

But don't blame me, blame Christos.  :-)
