bug no longer occurs for me.

Title:
Typing "prg
Maybe it has something to do with option settiings. Mathew, can you try
with the following bash variables set to see if the problem appears for
you? Also, BASH_VERSION='4.3.42(1)-release' pm wily, if that matters
BASH=/bin/bash
SHELL=/bin/bash
I still can't reproduce with Trusty even with a directory with spaces.
$ mkdir $HOME/'DIR WITH SPACES'
$ echo $HOME/DIR
produces
$ echo /home/mathew/DIR\ WITH\ SPACES/
$ apt list bash bash-completion
Listing... Done
bash/trusty-security,trusty-updates,now 4.3-7ubuntu1.5 amd64 [installed]
Not fixed in Ubuntu 15.10.
The problem occurs if completion expands to a name containing spaces. For
example "Virtual Box VMs" in $HOME
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. mkdir $HOME/'DIR WITH SPACES'
2. echo $HOME/DIR
RESULTS:
echo \$HOME/DIR\ WITH\ SPACES
EXPECTED RESULTS:
echo $HOME/DIR\
On Trusty,
$ prg $HOME/fil
produces
$ prg /home/mathew/file.txt
