I just figured out that if I start emacs from the Mac's terminal (via "emacs" 
which starts /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs) and open an emacs shell with 
M-x shell, I can tab-complete a2ps.

Hmmm... so the GUI version seems to act weird...


If you do after shell prompt

M-x describe-variable RET completion-at-point-functions
[ ... ]
=>  looks like the same output

would assume a bug in shell.el

comint-completion-at-point is defined as

(defun comint-completion-at-point ()
  (run-hook-with-args-until-success 'comint-dynamic-complete-functions))

so you could try same play looking for contents of

comint-dynamic-complete-functions
