To take advantage of Emacs's text processing power, M-x shell RET has to
make some trade-offs. This includes no real support of ncurses or no
support for native (bash) completion.
To get a real interactive terminal, try M-x term RET. Other than that,
you could try to write your own completion function in Elisp. Check
`shell-dynamic-complete-functions'.
