There's not much that can be done about this, I'm afraid. The set built-in displays the current environment, and that includes any functions that have been defined. bash completion makes heavy use of shell functions. It would be nice if there were an option to set to display the environment minus any defined shell functions. Perhaps this could be suggested to the bash maintainer, Chet Ramey.
