I think I found the answer to this in the below link:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/123036/match=bash+completion

I defaulted my ~/.bashrc and uncommented out the completion case statement and
saved it.  Then I exited out of bash, started bash, and tested with the "tail -f
some_text_file.txt" command and hit Ctrl-c and then I typed "ls" and I saw "ls"
so I *might* have fixed it.

Frankly I think this is a bug because no one is going to remember to look at the
above linked announcement when installing bash-completion!
