I see.

Completion via the complete command doesn't use print_filename which is
presumably why there is no trailing slash in this case.  I was just trying
to mimic it elsewhere.

I can get it to work by adding an argument to filename_completer:

  filename_completer (char *text, char *word, int slash)

and complete_line and doing:

   list = complete_line (text, line_buffer, point, 0);

from line_completion_function for completion through TAB

and:

  completions = complete_line (point, arg, argpoint, 1);

from complete_command for Emacs.

It involves a lot of changes though because all the other completers need
an extra (unused) argument too.

Perhaps complete_command can be made to use print_filename.
