"completion" means _smart_ completion: if you cd (eg.) it should only accept directories. If you "cd abc + <TAB>" and there are only regular files beginning with "abc" it will yell at you. If you telnet it will only accept (and do completion for) hosts and ignore everything else. etc. So either your bash completion stuff is broken (see /etc/bash_completion) or you are trying to vim to something that your bash_completion script thinks you shouldn't be vimming to.
