> How to reproduce on my system:
> 
> Start: emacs -Q
> Type: M-x term RET
> On Emacs prompt "Run program: /bin/bash", type: RET
> The *terminal* buffer appears.
> On Bash prompt, type: echo 'a TAB b' RET
> Bash prints: "a	b" (a TAB b), and displays new prompt.

I cannot reproduce this because when I press TAB, I get a bell,
i.e. TAB is not printed.  Which is consistent with what TAB produces
outside Emacs, when I type it at Bash prompt: Bash attempts to perform
completion on what I typed.

So I guess your recipe is missing something, or maybe your Bash init
file customizes Bash in some way.

If someone can reproduce this, please tell if I'm missing something
here.
