That looks like another bug.  As old as 2005-01-16 (commit fe8b2e84 by ianmacd)
because `-o filenames' was added to `dd' completion...   This escapes the =

Maybe this can be solved by removing `-o filenames' and fixing
_filedir.   _filedir already needs fixing because it only escapes
whitespace when `-o filenames' is in effect, see my post:

I'm sure we could also make it add slashes if `-o filenames' isn't in
effect. We should really get those main library functions fixed before
doing anything else...
