It looks like this patch is included in Debian bash version
4.3-4. Most of my examples for bash completion which started to
fail with bash 4.3 are working again now. But one example still
fails, though I don't know if this is a problem of bash or
bash-completion:

  $ mkdir /tmp/test && cd /tmp/test && touch aa 'a('
  $ ls a<TAB><TAB>
  a(  aa

So far it's ok. But:

  $ ls a(<TAB>

results in a wrong completion:

  $ ls a(a
