> Files present on the system:

>  /foo/$blah.quux
>
> When pressing TAB twice to get completions for "/foo/$b", I noticed
> that the fact that the $ gets escaped in the minibuffer seems to cause
> the wrong letter to be highlighted in the *Completions* buffer

> 'x' and 'q', respectively).

I can't reproduce it in latest CVS.  Maybe it's been fixed in the
meantime.  Do you still see this bug?
