  Some thoughts ..

  1) Can you confirm the "disable-completion" option is not somehow
turned on somewhere ?

  2) Also in shell can you do : complete -p

      I get:

      $  complete -p
      complete -o filenames -F __udisks udisks

      You can remove things with complete -r <foo>


 3) Also is this the same for all users (including root) or just user
poc ? That may offer a clue if it works for some users ...
