Hi Henry,

I had the same trouble as you describe and I was using your workaround, 
but then I realized that find is broken in the same way.  So, I did some 
research and found out that Debian and Ubuntu have solved this problem 
by patching /etc/bash_completion as described in the following URLs:

<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=739835>

<https://code.launchpad.net/~jjo/bash-completion/quote_readline_by_ref_fixes/+merge/210930>

I think Cygwin should incorporate the specified patch file in its 
bash-completion package.

Regards,
George
