[Greg Kurz]

Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:        14.04

bash-completion:
  Installed: 1:2.1-4
  Candidate: 1:2.1-4

        500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ trusty/main ppc64el Packages

Bash completion miserabily fails if you have $( as shown below:

and you get this:

greg at prato:~$ any_command $(-bash: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `)'
-bash: syntax error: unexpected end of file
