Title:
  bash-completion fails to complete filenames with single quote

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bash-completion

  Steps to reproduce: 
  1) Install bash-completion (d'oh).
  2) Enable it either by editing /etc/bash.bashrc or $HOME/.bashrc. /etc/bash.bashrc should have the information.
  3) Actual commands to reproduce in a shell:
  cd /tmp
  mkdir NewDir # This can be whatever. For demonstration purposes, we want an empty directory with write access.
  cd NewDir
  touch "A's_one"
  touch "A's_two"
  cat A<tab> # This completes to "cat A\'s_" as expected. Now enter "o<tab>" and bash will fail to complete to "A\'s_one"

  Removing bash-completion makes <tab> behave as expected.

  Ubuntu version: Lucid
  bash-completion version: 1:1.1-3ubuntu2
  bash version: 4.1-2ubuntu3 (reported as 4.1.5(1)-release by bash --version)
