I think this is related to a bug with /etc/bash_completion.  I set
   export BASH_COMPLETION_DEBUG=1
in my ~/.bashrc and this is what I see:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ . .bashrc

# Alter the following to reflect the location of this file.
#
{
  # These declarations must go within braces in order to be able to silence
  # readonly variable errors.
  BASH_COMPLETION="${BASH_COMPLETION:-/etc/bash_completion}"
  BASH_COMPLETION_DIR="${BASH_COMPLETION_DIR:=/etc/bash_completion.d}"
} 2>/dev/null || :

If I remove the 2>/dev/null, I see this error:

bash: BASH_COMPLETION: readonly variable

It appears that bash is dying on this line and not executing any
commands which occur after it.

Temp fix is to remove sourcing of /etc/bash_completion from your
~/.bashrc
