You can use 'set -xv' to turn on verbose processing of what is happening
when you hit TAB, to see if something jumps out at you as the culprit.  At
any rate, this sounds like an upstream problem with bash-completion, not
cygwin-specific.  And my quick check of 'ssh [TAB]' worked for me.  Since
your example of 'ssh hostname... [TAB]' is not valid syntax for ssh, I
can't tell what you were expecting.  Post a real example/screenshot
(although you may edit machine names if you are worried about that) if you
expect more help.
