What does fix the issue is commenting out the following in the .bashrc
in a given user's home directory:

if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then
    . /etc/bash_completion
fi

It's at the very end of the file and root's .bashrc has this section
commented out which is why root isn't susceptible to it.
