Hello Leandro,
I can't really reproduce the bug here, with the current development version:

Not tested -- and that shouldn't have worked for you. `cd' should only complete
on directories, and with "touch" you didn't create directories:
$ cd [<TAB>
$ cd [
> luca at azazel:~$ touch /tmp/'[a]'
> luca at azazel:~$ ls /tmp/\[ # 'ls /tmp/['<tab> written
> [ []
$ touch [a]
$ ls [<TAB>
$ ls \[
$ ls \[<TAB>
[ [] [2] [a]
$ ls \[

I can't really see this behaviour, thus marking this bug as unreproducible.
Would you please try the current development version?
