This seems to have been fixed with revisions 75531 and 75725 in the Python trunk, but these didn't make it into 2.6.4. Might these be imported to Ubuntu's version?

Alternatively: This problem seems to have been caused by changes between readline5 and readline6. If I link /lib/readline.so.6 to point to libreadline.so.5.2 instead of libreadline.so.6.0, tab completion within python works as expected. Perhaps python could be linked against readline5 for now.
