Still unreproducible here, sorry:

$ cp /bin/echo /usr/src/
$ cd /usr/
$ gdb src[TAB]
$ gdb src/
$ gdb src/e[TAB]
$ gdb src/echo
GNU gdb 6.8-debian

I'm sorry if that seemed like a joke -- it's just that bash-completion has been
recently split from bash -- it might be not installed.

Would you please report the output of:

$ grep "\$Id:" /etc/bash_completion

Thanks,
