yes, I can confirm it's still broken.

If I start bash without the bash-completion, it works:

    $ bash --norc
    bash-4.0$ ls Ubuntu\ One/<TAB>
    060428-bagger288-garzweiler.jpg Shared With Me@
    Pics/ stats/

but if in that same shell I load in the completion,

    bash-4.0$ . /etc/bash_completion
    bash-4.0$ ls Ubuntu\ One/<TAB>

completion stops working.
