[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#467231: Problem with dynamic completion

For some reason, dynamic completion seems to stop completion of
filenames containing spaces from working. As far as I can see,
everything is correct: this completion is performed by _filedir(),
_filedir's definition has been loaded into my session (according to
the output of "set") etc. But, pressing Tab on a partly-written
filename containing a space only works until I have typed the first
(escaped) space; after that, it doesn't. Reverting to non-dynamically
loaded completions makes everything work. My dynamic completion files
in /etc/bash_dyncompletion.d are up to date.
