Summary: Strange autocompletion behavior when use ' (apostroph) in PATH variable 
Distribution: Debian

Initial Comment:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/415043/strange-autocompletion-behavior
Situation: expanding PATH variable influence word completion, based on whether was apostrophes in additional path or not.
Example: I have an exe file (called "deadbeef") with appropriate exe rights, which path contains 2 apostrophes:
/home/mallniya/hard'n'soft/soft/gnu-linux/portable/deadbeef-0.6.0
Specialy for an experiment I put the same file to the
/home/mallniya/hardnsoftaa/soft/gnu-linux/portable/deadbeef-0.6.0
If I export first path to the variable $PATH there will be no autocompletion in bash, but will be in a second case.
Example:
When I type in terminal first letters of program, which resides in exported directory, and then use TAB for completion :
dead [TAB]
there is no completion in first case, but when I use TAB with the same word in second condition - it works.
Moreover, both which and type commands tells, that exe file is existed in both case. So if I type command "deadbeef" in first case manually - it also executes.
So what's the problem?
