Export variables in bash are now escaped with auto-completion (tab). A change linked to in another post here at Superuser. Is there any change to this issue?

It is not clear to me what your problem is. Do you want completion of environment variables or not? Could you elaborate? – Tim Aug 8 '11 at 7:54
Sorry for the delay. I upgraded from F11 to F15. It was a surprise to me that the new bash now escapes an exported variable's '$' character by default. Thus, borking the use of tab to complete a dir/file name, requiring the arrow key to navigate to the \ character to remove it. (>_<) – xtian Aug 16 '11 at 21:33

I believe you are referring to this issue reported on bug-bash which is yet to be resolved.
