You've probably got a cdpath setting in there, pointing to a directory
that doesn't exist any more (maybe one that used to be an NFS mount?).

If instead of TAB you type control-x followed by a question mark,
completion debugging is invoked -- a file will be written in /tmp with
a trace of what the completion system is doing.  Hit control-c and
then have a look at the file.
