after a fresh install, eselect bashcomp list doesn't show gentoo completion despite the fact it is globally enabled.

It seems that eselect does not deal with globally enabled completions living in /etc/bash-completion.d.
Ugh sorry for the belated response. Somehow I missed this bug. $ eselect bashcomp list --global There's probably no way you would have known about this, as I forgot to add --global to the bashcomp.eselect manual page when I added that option. eselect-1.0_rc1 will be out very soon, and will have much better documentation when it comes to module action sub-options (options like that are now shown when you run a module's 'help' or 'usage' action). Going to leave this open and just mark InSVN as really this is a missing documentation bug rather than a code bug. Will close once 1.0_rc1 is out.
1.0_rc1 is in cvs. Please test and reopen if necessary.
