File name completion broken in 1.7.7?

["Andy Hall" <fixpertise-consulting at comcast dot net>]

I have recently upgraded to 1.7.7 from 1.5.X.  In 1.5.X, it used to be that
in bash I could type lines like

	P4 edit hydra_c

and hit the tab key to complete the file name.  A command like

	p4 edit hydra_config

would be then executed.   

In 1.7.7, when I type

	P4 edit hydra_c

and hit the tab key to complete the file name, I get the text "bash:
_get_comp_words_by_ref(): `preprev': unknown argument"
followed by the missing part of the filename.  The command completes
successfully as below:

ahall@ahall-pc /cygdrive/c/konaware/builder
$ p4 edit hydra_cbash: _get_comp_words_by_ref(): `preprev': unknown argument
onfig
//konaware/builder/hydra_config#6 - opened for edit

Now I do not get this behavior on other commands when I use filename
completion. It turns out that my p4 command is an alias that converts the
current working directory to a windows path name which is added to the real
p4 command as an option as below:

ahall@ahall-pc /cygdrive/c/konaware/builder
$ alias p4
alias p4='p4 -d "`cygpath -w \"$PWD\"`"'

So I set the -x option and ran the command again.

ahall@ahall-pc /cygdrive/c/konaware/builder
$ set -x

Wierdly, bash seems to run all sorts or stuff including p4 commands that
have nothing to do with the command I wanted executed.  It does finally get
around to executing the correct command.  See the last 2 lines below.

++ cygpath -w /cygdrive/c/konaware/builder

If I don't use file name completion, everything progresses normally!

$ p4 edit hydra_config
++ cygpath -w /cygdrive/c/konaware/builder
+ p4 -d 'C:\konaware\builder' edit hydra_config
//konaware/builder/hydra_config#6 - currently opened for edit

If I run a command that does not involve an alias, such as

	vi hydra_c

and hit the tab key to complete the file name, hydra_config, I get a
completely different but presumably correct result.
