Issue with bash completion

Hi,
After the upgrade from Fedora 16 to Fedora 17, completion for any of my
wrapper functions (for standard tools) are not working. To give an
example, I have a wrapper around find called find_ext. I want it to
complete just like GNU find so I define the following completion:
complete -F _find find_ext
However this does not work. Completion is working for find itself, just
not my wrapper function. I see that the completion function `_find` is
not even defined in my shell (there is no output for `declare -f
_find`).
This is even more surprising since I see that _find is defined in
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/find. However I could not find
anything in /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion that actually
sources the files in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ (although
it does for /etc/bash_completion.d/).
Has something changed drastically? How do I make my wrappers complete
using standard completion functions?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
PS: When I use a custom completion function (with none of the standard
ones inside) it works as expected.
