Still broken in 14.04, bash-completion 1:2.1-4, even with the fixes for
bug 1387057 and bug 1390061 applied.
Even the fallback minimal completion function fails for that directory from the
OP.
mkdir -- $'--$`\! *@ \a\b\e\E\f\r\t\v\\\"\' \n'
echo ./-[TAB]bash: bad substitution: no closing "`" in `\! *@
\"'
-\$\`\\\!\ \*@\ ^G^H^[^[^L^M\ ^K\\\"\'\
and the completed filename isn't the correct filename. (changing echo
to ls or rm gives no such file or directory).
So even making things easy by starting the filename with ./ isn't
enough. I guess the problem isn't that it starts with --.
