Perhaps this is my error .....

Try creating a file called (say) =junk,
then doing
ls  =<TAB>
GNU bash, version 1.04.1 will not complete the file name.  However files
with names that start with + signs seem to be OK.
More weirdness.  If you have two files, say =fred and frog, then
ls =fr<TAB>
will give
ls  =frog
i.e, the completion will ignore the leading = character.
