Thanks for your interest in this. I think INPUTRC was a distraction.
On investigation I do have the envt variable INPUTRC set - it's to do
with European keyboard handling for the Ruby programming/scripting
language, and it has been there for over 3 years.

However, deleting this env var (and rebooting to convince Windoze that
I *really* don't want it any more...) has NO effect on the bzrtools
problem reported here.

I've tried your patch on the installed version of my bzrtools plugin.
[With INPUTRC still unset.]

It is effective in getting rid of the gross error I bugged, but throws
up a new run-time warning -

C:\Documents and Settings\David>bzr shell
bzr> versC:/Added Program Files/Bazaar/plugins\bzrtools\shell.py:284: Deprecatio
nWarning: bzrlib.commands.get_all_cmds was deprecated in version 1.17.0.

version-info  version
bzr> version

But the good news is that tab-complete does actually work as expected.

I'll re-instate my INPUTRC envt var and report back again.

Thanks

DJ
