Message:
I cannot reproduce the problem with latest git HEAD or bash-completion-1.2:

    $ set -x
    $ touch file1 'file?'
    $ cat file<TAB>
    ...
    + toks=(${toks[@]-} $(
                    compgen -f -X "$xspec" -- $quoted
                ))
    ++ compgen -f -X '' -- file
    + '[' 3 -ne 0 ']'
    + compopt
    + [[ -n cat ]]
    ++ complete -p cat
    + [[ complete -o filenames -F _longopt cat == *\-\o\ \f\i\l\e\n\a\m\e\s* ]]
    + COMPREPLY=("${COMPREPLY[@]}" "${toks[@]}")

    file?  file1

However, I can reproduce the problem with the older bash-completion-1.1:

    $ set -x
    $ touch file1 'file?'
    $ cat file<TAB>
    ...
    + toks=(${toks[@]-} $(
        compgen -f -X "$xspec" -- "$(quote_readline "$cur")" | {
        while read -r tmp; do
            [ -n $tmp ] && echo $tmp
        done
    }
    ))
    +++ quote_readline file
    +++ '[' -n '' ']'
    +++ local t=file
    +++ echo ''\''file'\'''
    ++ compgen -f -X '' -- ''\''file'\'''
    ++ read -r tmp
    ++ '[' -n file1 ']'
    ++ echo file1
    ++ read -r tmp
    ++ '[' -n 'file?' file1 ']'
    bash: [: file?: binary operator expected
    ++ read -r tmp
    + COMPREPLY=("${COMPREPLY[@]}" "${toks[@]}")
    1 

Are you sure you're using the latest bash-completion-1.2 and not 1.1?  If you're using 1.2, what's your output with a `set -x'?
