I too, was having funny things happenning to my completions, in that
it was printing it twice and losing track of where it was.  I was
quite resigned to living with it.   But one day I cleaned up my .login
file and the problem went away.

It turns out that when you invoke bash, the variable "EMACS" must
*not* be set.  If it is, bash thinks that it is running within Emacs
or something and does wierd things, the bad file completion being one
result.
