It works for some operations, but not for `cd`. Try pressing TAB at the
[tab] marked places to verify:

$ touch -- $'--$`!*@\a\b\E\f\r\t\v\\\'"\360\240\202\211 \n' # my test string
$ touch -- --$[tab]
Autocompletes to the correct file.
$ rm -- --$[tab]
Autocompletes to the correct file.
$ mkdir -- $'--$`!*@\a\b\E\f\r\t\v\\\'"\360\240\202\211 \n' # test 
$ cd -- --$[tab]
Fails:
$ cd -- --\$\`\!\*@^G^H^[^L^M\  ^K\\\'\"𠂉\ 
bash: cd: --$`!*
        
        \'"𠂉 : No such file or directory
$ rmdir -- --$[tab]
Autocompletes to the correct file.

** Changed in: bash-completion (Ubuntu)
