Nope, wrong again. 

But about line 3168 in /etc/bash_completion, comment out this stuff ...

#if shopt -q cdable_vars; then
#    complete -v -F _cd $nospace $filenames cd
#else
#    complete -F _cd $nospace $filenames cd
#fi

That works around the problem that apparently has been around since at least
7.10.
