I think this is by design. The manual tells me:
COMP_WORDBREAKS
The set of characters that the readline library
treats as word separators when performing word
completion.
The default value of COMP_WORDBREAKS is $" \t\"'@><=;|&(:." (that's
space, tab, dq, sq, at, gt, lt, eq, ...). This ensures that tab
completion will do the right thing for commands like
PATH=/usr/bin:/foo/ba[TAB]
without requiring any logic more complicated than the word splitting
rules already built in to readline. One can use
echo \:0[TAB]
when a colon should be considered part of a path.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
