I noticed this behavior for years using various fedora releases and
different john versions (but the john version is probably irrelevant,
because this is a bash "problem").

Which shell are you using? Bash? Which version?
Which is your OS?
Is there any bash completion defined for john?
What is the output of the following command:
complete -p|grep john
Or does this work for other commands as well?
What is the output of the command Aleksey posted:
perl -le 'print "@ARGV"' 1 ~ 2 --wordlist=~ 3 ~/x 4 -w=~/x 5
