Subject: bug#24054: tr bug? [:space:] acts like "a"

For the last few weeks tr [:space:] isn't working the way it used to for me under Ubuntu 14.04. Instead of acting on spaces it acts on "a"s.:

me@U:~$ echo "thisstring abcde what the heck?" | tr [:space:] '_'
thisstring _bcde wh_t the heck?
me@U:~$

This is 64 bit 14.04 built up from the mini.iso with just plain Openbox as the only DE, in lxterminal using bash.
