You can build Busybox successfully by selecting 
FEATURE_USERNAME_COMPLETION without FEATURE_TAB_COMPLETION though (if 
you change the dependency in Kconfig, and select one without the other). 
So, would something crash at runtime, or is the dependency based on the 
meaning of both functionalities as you describe?

Thanks for your feedback.
