Bingo! What I observe is reported in #825317.
I can confirm that adding a backslash before ~* in
_quote_readline_by_ref() stops bash doing the very expensive NSS lookup.
Using the upstream version of the function has the same effect, of course.
In my humble opinion, this is a prime example that Debian (and Ubuntu)
maintainers should be careful with their patches, especially in
well-maintained packages.
