Definitely. Please apply kilobyte's patch, either upstream
(preferably) or at least in Debian.

I just stumbled over a case where the quoting is even unnecessary:
→ touch f...@bar.txt
→ ls
'f...@bar.txt'
This smells rather perl-ish than shell-ish.
Again: Please revert this unlucky change which is IMHO based on rather
naïve (and wrong) assumptions ("It should not have backwards compat
issues").
