I think problem is the file /etc/bash_completion.

at line 3236 it says:
   # remove any \: generated by a command that doesn't
   # default to filenames or dirnames (e.g. sudo chown)
   # FIXME: I'm pretty sure this does not work!

But it doesn't matter whether you say
chown or 'sudo chown' or 'sudo -s' and then chown.

Despite the FIXME I didn't find a bug report...
