They spurred me to think about the ftp client I was using, and in doing a quick "aptitude search ftp" I found a few other clients to try. The "ftp" client appears to be flakey, but the tnftp client seems to work well, with tab-completion and other commands performing as expected. (The ncftp client *almost* works, but tab-completion doesn't see the blah.tgz.manifest file whereas it does see the blah.tgz file, so it gives misleading info on tab-completion.)
