This just happened to me, so, I reproduced it a few times, on a couple of
different OS's for your enjoyment.

First, start up screen:

$ screen

Once you get a prompt, make a directory like this:

$ mkdir MC\ TEST

Yes, that's MC<space> test.

Then, try to cd to it with autocomplete:

dfrascone@daves-mbp[~]$ Welcome to fish, the friendly interactive shell
Type help for instructions on how to use fish
dfrascone@daves-mbp ~>
dfrascone@daves-mbp ~>
dfrascone@daves-mbp ~> mkdir MC\ TEST
dfrascone@daves-mbp ~> cd MC\
cd: The directory 'MC ' does not exist
dfrascone@daves-mbp ~> cd MC\
cd: The directory 'MC ' does not exist
dfrascone@daves-mbp ~> cd MC[Z


You notice that it worked a few times.  You have to type MC<tab> really
fast, then, occasionally, it comes back with MC[Z instead of MC\ <more
completions>

I noticed this while trying to move a MC\ Frontalot directory.

dfrascone@daves-mbp ~> echo $TERM
screen
dfrascone@daves-mbp ~>


Ideas?

Oh -- this does NOT happen with bash:

dfrascone@daves-mbp ~> bash
dfrascone@daves-mbp ~ $ cd MC\
bash: cd: MC : No such file or directory
dfrascone@daves-mbp ~ $ cd MC\
bash: cd: MC : No such file or directory
dfrascone@daves-mbp ~ $ cd MC\
bash: cd: MC : No such file or directory
dfrascone@daves-mbp ~ $ cd MC\
bash: cd: MC : No such file or directory
dfrascone@daves-mbp ~ $ cd MC\
bash: cd: MC : No such file or directory
dfrascone@daves-mbp ~ $
