The assumption, I believe, is that the target folder is under /media/,
while the initial prompt is "~/". Starting with a slash causes the
initial prompt to be "greyed out" (i.e. rendered ineffectual unless the
user backspaces).

As Richard explained in <E1ksevx-0003Un-Sf@fencepost.gnu.org>, some
GNU/Linux distros mount external media under /media/$USER, so typing
/med TAB greys out the initial ~/ and used to complete to /media/$USER
(if $USER is the only folder under /media). Now users need to type an
additional slash to disambiguate from "/media:".
