That means you typed 'man <TAB><ENTER>', without programmable completion
enabled.

$ head -n 11 /usr/share/doc/cygwin/bash-completion-20060301.README
bash-completion-20060301-2
- ------------------------------------------
Programmable tab completion enhancements for use in bash.
Note that you must edit your bash startup files to load
bash-completion into memory: make sure ~/.bashrc sources
/etc/bash_completion, and ~/.bash_profile sources ~/.bashrc. This is
not done by the default bash-completion installation because it adds
some noticeable startup time to every interactive shell. See
/etc/defaults/etc/skel for an example of the syntax needed to turn
enhanced completions on.
Oh, and to limit the search to a particular section or particular prefix,
you can use things such as:
$ man 1 pr<TAB>
pr printafm printf procmail proj proxymngr
pr3287 printenv prockill procps prove
