bug#10840: 24.0.93; No `man' command completion on Windows (using Cygwin for man pages)

You also sent a mail saying to try `man ^', i.e., without `-k'.  I tried both.

 $ man -k ^
 ^: nothing appropriate

 $ man ^
 No manual entry for ^

Dunno whether that helps.  As I said, if I type nothing in the minibuffer and
then hit TAB it completes to `^:' with no further completion available.  If I
instead type something (e.g. `l') and then hit TAB I get the message `[No
match]'.

The shell is bash.  (And "man ls RET" works fine at the bash prompt.)
