rsync -avhP eleven:"~/dixon/etc/foo" /et

in bash and then pressing tab, the following errors appear:

bash: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
bash: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Also present with scp:
scp  eleven:"~/dixon/etc/foo" /et[TAB]

Message:
bash prints error message on "eval cur=$cur" in _expand():

  if [[ "$cur" == \~*/* ]]; then
>     eval cur=$cur

and $cur here is [~/dixon/etc/foo" /et] for your example. I don't think this is a bash-completion bug, bash is not able to properly split command line if quotes present. This bug could be worked around though.
