After pressing TAB after ssh:

nelchael@nelchael ~$ ssh sed: -e expression #1, char 20: unterminated `s' command

Expected host list is available after pressing the TAB key again, but the sed error is still there.

No, that patch breaks taking aliases from config files. This patch should work.

There is a problem with bash parsing, though.

Exactly.  AFAICS there's nothing wrong with bash-completion as it is now.  I'd rather see bash-3.1 fixed than applying a workaround to bash-completion.

See bug 119261 for cause, link and patch.

I guess upstream has decided to work around the bash-3.1 issues instead of pushing to get the real problem fixed.  20060301 is in portage.
