Does "show tables" actually produce a list of tables, or no tables?
On some systems, there is a bug in glibc that prevents it from working
properly, in which case auto-completion won't work. (I have one such
system, and I see the same behavior you do, even if I type "rehash"
to force re-hashing of the names.)
