Thanks for this patch. I'm looking to add a regression test for this so 
that it doesn't crop up again sometime in the future. However, I can't 
seem to cause completion to fail as you describe, so it's hard to write 
the test. I tried reverting your patch on the emacs-29 branch and then 
running:

emacs -Q -f eshell

;; Within Eshell, enter:
/usr/bi<TAB>

This completes to "/usr/bin/|", where "|" is the point. However, that's 
the correct behavior as far as I understand it, so I must be missing 
something. Do you have more complete steps to reproduce this?
