Read the manual.  You can disable that warning, with the right CYGWIN
environment variable setting, if it bothers you and you are willing to
deal with the consequences of DOS paths yourself.

Actually, this is just another ramification of a bug in bash-completion;
previous incarnations of the same sort of bug (such as 'ssh <TAB>') were
fixed with the release of bash-completion-1.1-1 [1], but obviously there
are still some quoting holes left.  Thanks for the report; it looks like
this line in _cd() is the culprit:

 for j in $( compgen -d $i/$cur );

I'll forward it upstream.
