Bug Description

How to reproduce:
 * touch "aa?a"
 * touch "aa?b"
 * touch "aac"
 * ls aa<TAB>
will give you
aa?a aa?b aac
 * rm aac
 * ls aa<TAB>
will autocomplete to
 * ls aa\?
but further tabbing will not suggest the names as ls aa<TAB> had done when aac existed.

This used to work and has somehow regressed lately in trusty
