Well, installing bash-completion by default is the best way to ensure the
incompatibility will eventually get fixed, not installing it by default is
the best way to ensure the issue will keep getting swept under the carpet.
(That said, doesn't bash-completion already have a workaround for the
problem? FWIW, I think putting workarounds into bash-completion is also a
bad idea, this needs to get fixed in Adobe Reader!)
It is not our job to work around bugs (or gratuitous incompatibilities with
long-established Free Software packages) in proprietary software.
