Tested also in the last version from this unofficial mirror:
https://github.com/bminor/bash so I guess it's still a problem.
Tab auto-completion removes quotes from variables even when it shouldn't.
Thanks for the report. This is a known issue for which I haven't decided on
an acceptable solution. The interface between readline and the calling
application (in this case, bash) makes it kind of clumsy.
You can work around it by setting the `direxpand' shell option, which has
the effect of expanding variables in the directory name and the side effect
of quoting them.
