One of them seemed to fix itself when I did a purge of
bash_completion, and then reinstalled the same latest version in sid.
The other hasn't. I just tracked it down to it still being listed as
a conffile in /var/lib/dpkg/status for the bash package. Should there
be a method in one of the packages to clear the conffile status from
the bash package and let bash-completion take it over?

I also tried that, but even then I couldn't reproduce the failure you
experienced.

I'll close this bug then, though feel free to reopen if anyone succeeds
in reproducing this issue.
