I can't reproduce this. I wonder if it has to do with resource limits.
Suspect Andreas' reply may be more insightful, but was able to reproduce this
in a fresh Debian stable chroot too,
created with debootstrap.
root@debian-stable:~/bash-5.2-beta# /usr/local/bin/bash -c "compgen -c -X a"

Thanks to you and Andreas. I tracked down the offending change, from April
2021. It only affects compgen called from non-interactive shells.
