I installed a change which should fix it (unless you've customized
eshell-prompt-function, in which case you'll have to make the change in
your cutomization).

> With (setq eshell-cmpl-ignore-case t), 'cd ~/l<TAB>' throws this error:

>   pcomplete-insert-entry: Text is read-only
>   pcomplete: Wrong type argument: integerp, nil [8 times]

> Could someone take a look at this bug? Thank you.

Thanks for catching this.  It was some half-cooked change I have here
that I installed mistakenly as part of some other change.  I reverted it
now, so it should work as before.
