bash completion leaves tty echo off after tail -f

Ah, this one bothered me for a while now, finally found it: Apparently when using bash-completion, Apple's /bin/bash gets confused after using e.g. "tail". From #25968:

$ . /opt/local/etc/bash_completion
$ tail -f .prof<TAB>ile
^C
After this (you have to use tab-completion to reach .profile), echo seems to be off. To fix this, simply type
  stty echo
or
  reset
and echo should be on again.
