Hrm. That code doesn't appear in our completion at all. We provide our
own _get_comp_words_by_ref, but if it is already defined, we use
whatever is there. So on my box, the problematic code comes from
/etc/bash_completion. And I think it is a bug there, as this is one of
the first things called (so git's completion hasn't had a change to
introduce any bugs yet :) ).
