Bisected this down to these three:

* commit c2b6bd51f98a5871acd9fcbeddad67216a07907c
| Author: Peter Stephenson <pws@xxxxxxx>

|     37693: turn Dash into '-' in glob qualifiers

* commit ad16356e1923ec1b4daf97b27b10a835cfe73ba7
| Author: Peter Stephenson <pws@xxxxxxx>

|     37689: ! and ^ need to be tokenised in character sets

* commit 8eb9070d6785f423dd9bdbbb0513aa47c8a08d62
  Author: Peter Stephenson <pws@xxxxxxx>
  Date:   Tue Jan 19 09:55:46 2016 +0000
  
      37678: Now possible to quote "-" in pattern range

c2b6bd51 gives the same symptoms as in HEAD.  The two commits before
that give "compaudit:151: unknown file attribute: -".  The parent of
8eb9070d completes '.../foo' correctly.

These revisions are new in 5.3.

Cheers,

Daniel
