Right.  bash-completion now uses /usr/share/bash-completion, as you can 
see from

   https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/bash-completion/bash-completion-2.1-2

That's a pretty clear indication that the problem is caused by something 
in your bash startup files.  And the symlink you mentioned could easily 
be confusing the issue.  Have you tried reverting to the default startup 
files (in /etc/defaults/etc/skel)?

[Achim, /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.bashrc has some outdated comments 
referring to /etc/bash_completion.]
