Hello Clark; I noticed the same thing; I addressed it in an earlier message with the attached patch as a suggested fix, modifying a patch from Luca Boccassi.

Thank you for this patch. I first ran into the issue with 5.0-beta2 another
way: I noticed that my default completion spec with -D as suggested by the
Bash manual page was no longer working:

  _completion_loader()
  {
       . "/etc/bash_completion.d/$1.sh" >/dev/null 2>&1 && return 124
  }
  complete -D -F _completion_loader -o bashdefault -o default

In 5.0-beta2, after running this code, for any command with no completion
specs defined in /etc/bash_completion.d, completing an argument does nothing.

Your second patch does not correct that, but it looks like that's because a
non-zero `foundcs` is coerced to 1 in it, when there are other meaningful
values for the integer as the first parameter for
`pcomp_set_readline_variables(int, int)`.

The attached patch is my own attempt, which seems to correct my issues as well
as the one you raised in this post. Long-time user, first-time poster...

Subject: [PATCH] Corrections for initial word completion logic

5.0-beta2 includes a correction for the new -I option to the `complete`
builtin:

<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2018-11/msg00035.html>

However, some custom command completion was broken by this due to an
incomplete check for the exceptional midword condition, for which a fix
was offered here:

<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2018-11/msg00088.html>

This patch adjusts the latter fix by preventing coercion of a value of
foundcs that happens to be *greater* than 1 for this block, which also
fixes default completion with -D.
