You also sent a mail saying to try `man ^', i.e., without `-k'. I tried both.
$ man -k ^
^: nothing appropriate
$ man ^
No manual entry for ^
Dunno whether that helps. As I said, if I type nothing in the minibuffer and
then hit TAB it completes to `^:' with no further completion available. If I
instead type something (e.g. `l') and then hit TAB I get the message `[No
match]'.
The shell is bash. (And "man ls RET" works fine at the bash prompt.)
