Title:
  Fails to allow completion of filenames with ' single quote

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in bash-completion package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  This is a regression in 14.04 LTS recreating #590829, I think its been broken by a recent update.
  I've had to disable the bash-completion completely and just use the built-in completion. 

  Single quote is a really common character in my file names.

  Effect is that a \' appended disappears when tab is pressed.

  
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  ii  bash-completion                                 1:2.1-4
