No, but it probably is an upstream bug the bash-completion package worth
reporting and fixing.  Can you use 'set -vx' just before typing the
command that triggers the message, so I can see which command in the
completion function is insufficiently quoting the pathname such that a
glob completion is being inappropriately attempted on escape characters?
