Somehow I'd gotten the mistaken impression that it was supposed to heal itself over time as the programs that install bashcomp files were rebuilt with updates, without me having deal with any cruft. > I think there was a news item on how to transition from the old to > the new setup.

Always possible that was my fault, but I really think there was no such item. Also, if I've correctly understood what you wrote above, needs an overhaul. (Conversely, if it doesn't need an overhaul, my understanding is still faulty and I'll be back for some hand-holding!)
