cd completion for path containing environment variables is broken

[laggardkernel]

cd $HOME/ and press Tab completes with filenames. After bash-completion is activated, this is broken.

After some searching, it turns out this is an old bug.

For the time being shopt -s direxpand could avoid this by expanding the variable to absolute path.

Besides, expansion for tilde like vim ~/.ssh is also broken, but vim ~/.ssh/ works.
