unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' in rsync tab completion

[David R. Hedges]

Binary package hint: bash-completion

When typing something like:

rsync -avhP eleven:"~/dixon/etc/foo" /et

in bash and then pressing tab, the following errors appear:

bash: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
bash: syntax error: unexpected end of file

------
This is a fresh install of natty i386, and has been confirmed by one other person. For what it's worth, if quotes are not used, the error is not exhibited.

scp eleveln:/etc/hosts /etc/[tab]

works

scp eleven:"/etc/hosts" /etc/{TAB}

doesn't work - returns no completion options

scp eleveln:"~//etc/hosts" /et[TAB}

fails with:
bash: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
bash: syntax error: unexpected end of file
