Completion itself doesn't use scp to do the remote file name
generation, it uses plain ssh.  Of course once the file names are
returned, getting the quoting right for the actual scp invocation is
down to what appears on the command line, so the only way completion
could be implicated in messing this up is if it somehow automatically
inserted the wrong quoting.
