I recently noticed that completion of directories acts as if the
CHASE_LINKS option is set, that is if you are in a symlinked directory
and you want to complete its siblings then it will complete using the
physical siblings instead of the ones from the directory that the
symlink resides in.

Quick clarification: this doesn't just apply to directories, any filecompletion that tries to complete siblings of a symlinked directory isaffected.
