But first of all it could be that I log in as root or any other user and second this is an abstracted example. It may be another directory then the home directory. | |

Yes, it looks wrong. However, what are you expecting the tab completion to complete? A directory on the remote server? To get the pathname of that directory, bash would have to connect to the server and investigate the path. Also, to access the home directory of the user that you connect as, you don't have to go the long way to specify the absolute path. Any relative path would be relative to the home directory of the user.
