Had the same issue in Latest Stable Lucid, and comment #7 was the problem and fix.

PATH=~/bin:$PATH

fails, but

PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH

works.

Changed bug status to "confirmed" since
a) I can confirm the behavior
b) http://www.faqs.org/docs/bashman/bashref_28.html suggests this should behave otherwise
c) the myriad scripts in /etc that prime tab-completion to behave in (imho: awful) context-sensitive ways are ubuntu specific.
