Title:
  tab completion doesn't propose files when path starts with a tilde (~)

Status in “bash” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When the path starts with a tilde (~) tab completion doesn't propose
  files. It works fine with bash 4.2 and is a regression in 4.3.

  TEST CASE:
  1. Open a terminal and type:
  $ cat ~/.b<TAB><TAB>

  ACTUAL RESULT:
  Only directories are proposed. Completion works fine with an absolute or relative path instead of '~'

  EXPECTED RESULT:
  Directories and files are proposed
