The backslash is gone in karmic, but the behavior is not fixed. With the
karmic (and upstream debian) bash-completion package, environment
variables still do not expand.
$ cd $HOME<tab>
$HOME
As others have noted, simply removing $filenames breaks the expansion.
For me, the behavior of $dirnames in its place is at least tolerable
(you must type a slash in order to get the path to expand). I would
consider this bug still open.
Until it gets fixed properly, the workaround is easy to apply...
