I have seen this several times in the past, still having no idea how this happens. For a while I suspected bash_completion but I think I saw this also without bash_completion. Finally I am suspecting the filesystem journaling doing weird things, since it it mostly happened after crashes with JFS and XFS, but (almost? not sure) never with Ext3.
