Public bug reported:

Run these commands to reproduce the problem:

$ touch xxx
$ ls $PWD/x            (now press TAB)

The line completes like this:

  ls \$PWD/xxx

with a slash in front of the dollar sign.

If  you run "complete -r", the problem goes away, and the line completes
as:

  ls $PWD/xxx
