Yep. -T applies *before* anything else, and you just told it, that */*
must complete all files.  I am curious, if 'cd dir1/dir2/xTAB' works
correctly (that is, if pattern doesn't descend :-)

You would be probably better off by using -D flag. It allows you to
override it on per-command/per-argument basis and still be applied in
default case. In most cases it should be the same as you have, with
exception that -/ will work :-)

Sorry, in which respect? Manual *does* say, that -T is default applied
before anything else.

I agree, that it must be sorted. At least, -/ must complete .. as
well.
