The buggy scenario is as follows:

$ rm -R a_read_only_dir<TAB>/<ENTER>
override r-xr-xr-x  user/user for a_read_only_dir? <CTRL-C>^C
$ # local echo is gone, that is, keyboard input ceases to print

I'm pretty sure both completion and rm do something with the terminal (sending escape codes), and here together they fail.

Although minor, pretty annoying - breaks backward compatibility. Found on Darwin.

OP replied in private that he's using bash 3.2 and that it works for him too with 4.1.7. I can reproduce the issue with the recipe in my previous comment with bash 3.2.25(1)-release.

Message:
I cannot reproduce (Linux, bash 4.1.7), and I don't think bash-completion's rm completion sends any escape codes. Have you tried without bash-completion?

$ mkdir -m 555 foo
$ sudo chown root:root foo
$ rm -R foo<TAB>/<ENTER>
rm: remove write-protected directory `foo'? <CTRL-C>
# local echo continues to work
