I just installed the bash-completion package.  To see how it worked, I typed

$ ssh <TAB>

This yielded:

$ ssh cygwin warning:
   MS-DOS style path detected: BEGIN {FS=","}
                                 /^\s*[^|\#]/ {for (i=1; i<=2; ++i) { \
                                        gsub(" .*$", "", $i); \
                                        if ($i ~ /
   Preferred POSIX equivalent is: BEGIN {FS=","}
                                 /^/s*[^|/#]/ {for (i=1; i<=2; ++i) { /
                                        gsub(" .*$", "", $i); /
                                        if ($i ~ /
   CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this 
warning.
   Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
     http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames

Apparently a line continuation backslash in /etc/bash_completion was 
misinterpreted as an attempt to use DOS style paths.
