Description:
         If MAILPATH and MAILCHECK are set to enable mail notification, then
         when activating programmable completion, the mail notification message
         will interrupt the partially complete command line.

Thanks for the report. This was fixed in the devel branch just after
bash-5.2 was released, and the fix is in bash-5.3.
