Seems like this is fixed, I was unable to reproduce this for both the
master and emacs-26 branches.

This is still an open issue for me on Emacs 26.1 (Linux and OSX).

I asked a few people from #emacs to try and reproduce on 26.1,
they all reported that the issue is still there.

Yup, I can reproduce it.  One minor question, what does the "C-a-k" mean
in your original report?

I think Xristos meant C-a C-k.

The only thing needed to make ielm file name completion work on my
system (see signature for its details) is to add ?\s to
comint-file-name-chars, e.g.:

As for shell, file name completion only seems to breaks down for me when
completing a relative file name argument to the cd command in
particular:

0. emacs -Q
1. M-x shell RET
2. cd /tmp/
   [shell doesn't seem to support dynamic cd arguments such as
    "$(mktemp -d)".]
3. mkdir dir\ one dir\ two RET
4. cd /tmp/dir TAB
   [Completes to "/tmp/dir\ ".]
5. TAB
   [Offers "dir\ one/" and "dir\ two/" as completion candidates.]
6. o TAB
   [Completes to "/tmp/dir\ one/".]

Replacing cd with ls (or pretty much any other string, let alone valid
command) in step 4 exhibits the same correct behaviour.  Doing so in
OP's recipe (which tries to complete relative file names), however, does
not seem to struggle in the same way as cd completion:

Steps 0-3 as before.
4. ls dir TAB
   [Completes to "dir\ ".]
5. TAB
   [Offers "dir\ one/" and "dir\ two/" as completion candidates.]
5. o TAB
   [Completes to "/tmp/dir\ one/".]

I'm not familiar with the workings of shell, but it seems like it's
trying to be smart about cd completion and falling a bit short.

After a bit more digging (see bug#11348 and bug#11607), it looks like
the culprit is pcomplete/cd.  I'm far from familiar with pcomplete, and
edebugging pcomplete-entries and pcomplete--entries did not reveal
anything obviously amiss to me, so my current workaround, inspired by
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11348#26, is to:

(with-eval-after-load 'shell
  (setq shell-dynamic-complete-functions
        (delq #'pcomplete-completions-at-point
              shell-dynamic-complete-functions)))
