This is generally a collection of multiple bugs in bash-scripted
completion functions that aren't correctly saving and restore the
current glob setting to allow setting old-style globbing temporarily for
their own use, much as IFS is typically handled.   Disabling nullglob in
a user .bashrc is nothing more than a workaround for that naive code
written by others.
