Public bug reported:

UbuntunME ONLY

Command completion inserts a backslash in front of the beginning collar
sign of my environment variable.  Example:

export MYENVVARB=xxx

cd $MYE<tab>

results in

cd \$MYENVVARB

which is not only seriously inconvenient, but I've never seen any
standard Bash configuration that does it.  I recommend it be configured
or programmed otherwise.  Perhaps there is a special mode for this, but
it should not be turned on in the terminal.  Those terminals are places
where environment variables will be used a lot, and people will want
command completion for them.  This is completely non-standard.  I'm
seeing it in both the standard terminals, and in the xterms I use.
