Found the problem! One of the FAQs instructed me to add the command

set completion-ignore-case on

to the .inputrc file. Seeing a "set" command I thought this file was similar
to .bashrc so I added the command

echo .inputrc

to the file (so I could be sure it was being read). After reading the bash
manual while awake at 2 this morning I found that the Readline syntax is
quite different.  I think this command was being mis-parsed as a key
binding.

Removing the offending line fixed the problem. Thanks to all who responded
with suggestions.

- Ken

What a strange report - there is no way mintty could be causing such an
effect. Maybe you've somehow changed your keyboard mapping? What about other
letters? Other applications? Windows cmd console?
