I had already done that, but I did it again just to be sure --

    Xyzzy=1;while [ $Xyzzy -lt 74 ]; do eselect bashcomp enable $Xyzzy --global; Xyzzy=`expr $Xyzzy + 1`; done

and all came thru as already enabled.

These completion errors I get are of two kinds: it does not work at
all inside backquotes, and it doesn't work following env vars.  It
does work elsewhere, and does have a few foibles where programs don't
recognize certain file types and I have to trick it, but generally it
works as expected outside back quotes and without env vars.
