I am curious as to how you have bash_completion working. Which version of bash_completion are you running? On my desktop which runs bash-completion-20050121-r10, I also do not have the line to source bash-completion in /etc/skel/.bashrc On my normal user console, if I do emerge --de<tab><tab> it displays --debug --deep --depclean as you said. But if I start a bash shell without the skeleton .bashrc bash --rcfile /etc/skel/.bashrc which does not source bash-completion, typing emerge --de<tab><tab> does absolutely nothing.
