I found that tab expansion doesn't work in a symlinked folder. Investigation found that the shell can't see ANY items in the $PWD, but /something/ causes things to right themselves in the same session.
Steps to reproduce
cd /tmp
mkdir test1
mkdir test1/foo
mkdir test1/bar
ln -s test1 test2 # using /bin/ln here
dir test1 # "case A"
dir test2 # "case B"
Expected behavior
Output from case A should equal case B, but the "Directory name" should read "/tmp/test2".
Actual behavior
Case B shows only the file entry of the symlink. That would be ok in some cases, HOWEVER what you see is that this behavior affects lots of things like tab expansion. For example, to continue repro:
cd test2
cd [TAB] # nothing happens with any tab completion commands here
Note that you can get around some of the issues by manually appending a forward-slash. e.g. dir test2/.
