Additional info:
The path listing isn't updated if you sit in the directory. If you change to another directory and then back to the parent directory of foodir - bash will have updated the tree so that tab completion can work properly. mkdir/touch/chmod are not internal to bash and have no conduit of letting bash know that the directory listing was updated.
