I just installed the bash-completion package.  To see how it worked, I

$ ssh <TAB>

This yielded:

$ ssh cygwin warning:

  Preferred POSIX equivalent is: BEGIN {FS=","}
                                /^/s*[^|/#]/ {for (i=1; i<=2; ++i) { /
                                       gsub(" .*$", "", $i); /
                                       if ($i ~ /
  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this 
warning.
  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

Apparently a line continuation backslash in /etc/bash_completion was 
misinterpreted as an attempt to use DOS style paths.

Sorry, it might not have been the line continuation backslash.  There 
are earlier backslashes in the line.
