Package: bash
Version: 4.2+dfsg-0.1
Severity: normal
Completion wrongly adds a \ before $ when special characters follow:
% mkdir test
% touch test/a:
% X=test
% echo $X/<TAB>
results in:
% echo \$X/a\:
with a wrong \ before $ which is not meant to be escaped but to
refer to the variable X (as it is interpreted correctly during the
completion, otherwise "a:" wouldn't have been found).
It only happens if the completed file name contains a special
character (here: ":", which actually isn't special to the shell and
wouldn't need escaping AFAIK, but that's another issue ...)

This no longer happens in Bash 5.2.21:
$ mkdir test
$ touch test/a:
$ X=test
$ echo $X/a<TAB>
$ echo $X/a\:
