@Mike Doherty, Victor Zamanian: Just checked out bash_completion. If you use the master branch (dangerous?) it's fixed, but it's not fixed at the 1.2 tag. I was looking for the specific commit that fixed it, but I gave up.

git clone git://git.debian.org/git/bash-completion/bash-completion.git

Nobody seems to be prepping for a release yet, although the time between releases seems to be about 6-9 months, and it's been 6 months since 1.2. So it may be coming in the next several months. If you must have it, and you just want instructions, do the following:

git clone git://git.debian.org/git/bash-completion/bash-completion.git
cd bash-completion
git checkout master
sudo cp bash-completion /etc

Then add to your .bashrc, .profile, .bash_profile, whatever:

# Use bash-completion, if available
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
  . /etc/bash_completion
fi
