Yes I need more, namely the exact command line where you tried
completion. I've tested `perldoc' with completion after `-f', `-q',
and in a normal argument position and all this seems to work for me,
but I had to change `_perl_basepods' to use `whence -p basepod'
instead of `which ...' because I don't have `basepods'. I also had to
change `_perl_builtin_funcs' to use `command man ...' because I happen 
to have a function called `man'.

About the argument lists: did you really compile the beast with
debugging? (`-ggdb' in your Makefile, or at least `-g'?)

Otherwise the backtrace seems very fishy, because `comp_setunset'
doesn't call `runshfunc'.

Bye
 Sven
