I'd try:

  - Finding out what keysym <tab> is sending.   I can't recall the
    program for this at the moment.  I believe xkeycaps does this but I
    thought there was a console program that did same.

  - Run strace on bash and see what it exits with:

   $ strace bash 2>&1 | tee bash.log
   $ <tab>

Cheers.
