Could you clarify the issue for me and provide a test case?

You said that "desktop users pretty much never run a login shell ever."
Am I right that running gnome-terminal in Unity by pressing Ctrl + Alt +
T is running a non-login shell?

I tried to clarify the summary based on this comment: "People logging in
with ssh to an Ubuntu machine will get progcomp in their login shell,
but not in subshells they start inside screen(1), for example."

Let me know if I made a mistake.

** Summary changed:

- bash programmable completion not loaded by default
+ bash programmable completion is not loaded in subshells when running a login shell

** Package changed: bash-completion (Ubuntu) => bash (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

  login shell

Bug description:
  I don't know it's bug or feature, but [TAB] autocomplete won't work
  with sudo on 13.04 (and 12.10 too). To fix this, you need to uncomment
  some lines in /etc/bash.bashrc and then [TAB] autocomplete will work.
