It seems that if I remove the "-o filenames" from the compspec for cd, I get the correct behavior when it comes to environment variables as arguments to cd.

vnix$ complete -p cd
complete -o filenames -o nospace -F _cd cd

vnix$ cd $HOM<TAB>
vnix$ cd \$HOME
bash: cd: $HOME: No such file or directory

vnix$ complete -o nospace -F _cd cd

vnix$ cd $HOM<TAB>
vnix$ cd $HOME

vnix$
