Message:
It doesn't happen anymore with our bzr revision, but still shows a bug:

$ mkdir /tmp/foo
$ cd /tmp
$ touch foo/=bar
$ echo foo/=<TAB>
$ echo foo/=bar

If there are other files in /tmp/foo/, it behaves oddly:

$ touch foo/buz foo/foo
$ echo foo/=<TAB>
claws-mail-1000             orbit-neo/
foo/                        .pcmanfm-socket:0.0-neo
gconfd-neo/                 serverauth.lwDVrycexY
gpg-HiLpT3/                 ssh-vyyNyO3687/
.ICE-unix/                  .X0-lock
liferea.neo.3796948728      .X11-unix/
.lxterminal-socket:0.0-neo
$

(i.e. shows files in /tmp/ and not /tmp/foo/)
