I've tried to review the patch, but I'm not sure what is changed. Based on the summary, I did the following:

1. Take a tar.gz tarball and rename it test.tar.xz
2. Try "$ tar xf test<TAB><TAB>"

This autocompleted to test.tar.xz as expected with the current version of bash-completion in Natty.

I also noticed that the change as committed to the upstream source is slightly different. It omits the "-X" argument to compgen. I would guess the patch against the ubuntu package should be updated for this change as well.
