This is a known bug, which has been recently fixed upstream, and in
debian unstable/testing (see https://bugs.debian.org/741273#27).

It is indeed broken in buster and I don't have plans to backport the fix.

Bug#969551: bash: !ref: unbound variable

2020-09-04 Thread William Herrin 
Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.8-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
set -u

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
cd /
cd ho[tab]

   * What was the outcome of this action?
bash: !ref: unbound variable

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
cd home

The error appears to come from __reassemble_comp_words_by_ref() 
in /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
