emacs -Q
M-x shell
;; First create the directory structure for the test
cd /tmp/ RET
mkdir "Directory One" RET
mkdir "Directory Two" RET
;; Try to complete in shell
cd D<TAB>
;; Completes to Directory\
<TAB>
;; No match shown in *Messages* (unexpected, should list the two directories)
C-a-k
cd Directory\ O<TAB>
;; No match shown in *Messages* (unexpected, should complete Directory\ One)

;;; For ielm, we try completion inside a string

M-x ielm
"/tmp/D<TAB>
;; Completes to "/tmp/Directory
<TAB>
;; Nothing shown in *Messages*, no completion (unexpected, should list the two directories)
C-a-k
"/tmp/Directory O<TAB>
;; No match shown in *Messages*, no completion (unexpected, should complete
Directory One)
