This was caused by this change:
2008-04-03 Chong Yidong <cyd@stupidchicken.com>
* shell.el (shell-dynamic-complete-filename): New fun.
(shell-dynamic-complete-functions): Use it.
This was after the release of 22.2 but backported. It was fixed by this
change:
2008-07-23 Chong Yidong <cyd@stupidchicken.com>
* shell.el (shell-dynamic-complete-functions):
Use comint-dynamic-complete-filename as well (bug#361).
and that is in 22.3.
