It's still a problem (26.3 and 2019-09-15 master-branch build) in that the dialog is not displayed, but the Emacs process no longer consumes 100% CPU.
Here is a simple recipe to reproduce the problem. It assumes the FreeBSD ports tree is installed in the default location, which is /usr/ports.
1. emacs -Q
2. M-x eshell
3. cd /usr/ports/editors/emacs
4. sudo make config
Instead of the dialog displaying, eshell becomes unusable (blank screen and no keys will return the prompt). Trying to exit by hitting TAB/Enter reports
Completion function pcomplete-completions-at-point uses a deprecated calling convention
Warning: pcomplete-completions-at-point failed to return valid completion data!
You can switch buffers and kill the eshell process now though.
