[OS X Emacs] Eshell completion...

I was asking about eshell completion on #emacs the other day, and got
some results I don't understand.
For me (Aquamacs 3.0 alpha), eshell filename completion works as follows:
1. I type a prefix
2. I type tab
3. Eshell completes to what it thinks was the most recently referenced
name.
4. I cannot cycle through alternatives, so I swear a lot and
c-m-backspace to kill the stupid completion.
I have checked this, and I see the same behavior when I run Aquamacs w/o
customizations.
My interlocutor, on FSF emacs 24.3.x has cycling completions, and
working that way w/o customizations.
The behavior I see *seems* to be what is described in the EmacsWiki page
about eshell completion, although that page is not clear about cycling
through completions.
Does anyone have a happy eshell completion set up? Is this magically
fixed by some more recent version of eshell?
Thanks!
