Hi,
just took a peek into XMonad.Prompt.Shell source and found the cause of dysfunction. To get a list of possible command completions, shellPrompt makes use of bash internal function "compgen" but end of options mark (yes, it is the double-dash) is omitted. So if completion function is supplied with "--", bash call cannot finish because compgen expects another argument which never receives so it hangs.
+ f<- fmap lines $ runProcessWithInput "bash" [] ("compgen -A file --" ++ encodeString s ++ "\n") Does there not need to be a space between the -- and the rest of the arguments?

Sure, there should be a space after a double-dash.
