Public bug reported:
Fresh install of 12.04
I create variables in my bash profile.
>From the commandline of any terminal emulator on the system, I start to
create commands that make use of a variable.
When I hit TAB to get an autocompletion, instead of getting a
completion, the variable on the line gets prefixed with an escape
character.
So, '$VAR' becomes '\$VAR'.
** Affects: bash (Ubuntu)
