So there's not supposed to be a space between "mnt" and "[TAB]" in
your example?  Because as shown you're completing for the "mnt"
command, which could affect what happens with the file names.  I
certainly don't see "Completing executable file" or "Completing shell
function" when attempting your example with a space before the tab.

If I remove the space and hit TAB directly after "mnt" then I see
those two offered, which is exactly as I'd expect because in that case
you're completing a command word rather than a file name.  But in that
instance I never get any file names offered, so there's something else
about your configuration -- possibly that $path includes "."? -- that
you haven't mentioned.
