I could reproduce it on Ubuntu Natty and Ubuntu Precise, on Wheezy, and on one, but not on all of my Sid boxes. Disabling the sourcing of /etc/bash_completion (either manually enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bashrc) made the problem vanish on Debian and on Natty, but not on Precise. Even purging bash-completion did not help on Precise. And that's not all: While on precise using "bash --rcfile /dev/null" still did not fix the issue, it brought the issue back on Natty. And on Debian Sid it still worked as expected, i.e. did not add any backslash.
