FWIW, the system where I noticed it was Ubuntu 10.04 but I also see the
same behaviour on opensuse 11.2 now I know what to look for.
And the answer is ...
symlinks.
If the directory isn't really a directory but is a symlink to a
directory then TAB lists just the name and a second TAB adds the
trailing slash. For ordinary directories, a single TAB gets the slash.

Guys,
What is wrong with the 'tab' to complete directory names in bash? eg:
