I was bitten by this bug today (which is still unfixed afaict),
and since TRAMP/eshell is an important part of my daily routine I
went back to using pcomplete.
Having ran into similar completion heisenbugs in the past, I have
to say that I find the mechanism to be severely under-documented and
the code very hard to make sense of in reasonable time. A design document
that lays out the architecture and component interactions is sorely
needed.
