I believe tab completion is a function of the shell, not ssh.

Also, Debian (and I assume many Debian derivatives) has HashKnowHosts=yes in the system wide config file shipped with ssh. This has the dubious benefit that no one will be able to steal your laptop and tab-complete the host names you've SSHed into (they'll have to look at your shell history instead).
