It's not the same as #590829 after all: despite the similarities, the
recipe given at #590829 does not reproduce the issue for me.

Title:
  Fails to complete directory paths containing single quotes

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Tab completion of directory paths containing single quotes is broken
  like so:

  $ mkdir -p "a'b/c"
  $ cd a\'b/ # pressing tab won't complete the 'c' dir

  as opposed to:

  $ mkdir -p "de/f"
  $ cd de/ # pressing tab here completes the 'f' dir just fine, to 'de/f/'

  I initially thought this was Bug #1485777, but the reason I'm not so
  sure anymore is that for me, a manually appended \' does not disappear
  (unlike for the reporter of #1485777). This does however also seem
  like a regression back to the issue of Bug #590829.
