} Thanks, that patch does solve the issue with cd to a certain degree. But 
} as you said yourself it is not specific to cd - for example, 'ls ../[TAB]'
} has the same problem.

No, you misunderstand.  It actually *is* specific to cd -- ls is an
external command and will physically follow ../, so it is correct for
completion for ls to do so as well.

Only in shell builtins can ../ refer to $PWD:h/, and the only builtins
that have this behavior are cd and pushd.
