It's not a limitation, it's that way so that two tabs in a row enters
menu completion on the same set of answers. You have to do something
(anything, really) in between the two presses of tab to say "yeah, I
am done with the first completion, let's start a new one using what's
on the line now".

} history, and hit TAB again which completes the filename
You could also type one more character of the filename, type space and
then backspace, etc. -- anything so that you aren't invoking the same
completion widget twice consecutively, which has its own special meaning.
