ill, If would please provide some basic info on your version of Ubuntu using the output of 'lsb_release -a' and 'apt-cache policy 'gnome-terminal' it would be appreciated.
I confirmed this behaviour using gnome-terminal, Firefox and a youtube video to provide the plugin-container. Once I had the video open I used gnome terminal to enter 'killall plug +TAB', which did show the tab completion however the command would return 'plugin-container: no process found' until I deleted the last 'r' in 'plugin-container', at which point the command completed successfully.
