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.
