Yeah, it's better than either with or without the 36285 patch, but
still doesn't handle all cases,

< <tab> gives files (correct)
; <tab> gives commands (correct)
< ; <tab> gives commands (correct)
foo < ; <tab> gives files (wrong-ish)
; < <tab> gives commands (wrong)
foo=bar; < <tab> gives commands (wrong, presumably same case as the above)
; < : <tab> gives commands (correct)
; < : : <tab> gives files (correct)

Is there any reason we can't just reset state to 'this is a new
command' when we see an unquoted solo semicolon? Or is determining
that this is the case in fact the trouble?
