Not a bash bug.

This is a bug in the bash-completion package, which is independently developed. Please report this to them.

Bash tab-completion fails for file names containing new lines. It provides multiple selections which correspond to the separate lines contained in the file name:

example:

$ python -c "open('foo\nbar','w')"
$ ls
foo?bar
$ ls ./f
bar  foo
