If I open MacVim (specifically janus) and try :open ~/<TAB> I get :open ~/^I. How can I get it to tab complete the way one would expect bash completion to work?

3`:open` is not the command for opening files; it is a residual command left over from the original *ex* where it invoked a single-line “visual” mode. – Chris Johnsen Feb 07 '12 at 03:41

You can use :
:e ~/<TAB>
:set wildmenu would also be very helpful.

OK, thanks! I had `:set wildmenu` but I didn't realize `:open` was the wrong thing to do. – aresnick Feb 07 '12 at 22:24
