fixed sometime before trusty. Except that cd "$dir"/ doesn't
expand or complete any subdirs in /etc. So probably something was
getting evalled too many times, and it isn't now, or just code changes
makes it work differently now.
** Changed in: bash-completion (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed
No acroread installed here. so i can not apply the workaround.

Completion of directories stored in a var with cd is weirdly broken

@Alejandro, do you have the acroread package installed? This may be a
duplicate of bug 716008, which describes this (mis)behavior caused by
the acroread package. I found the workaround in bug 716008 solved this
problem.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
I'm able to confirm this on the latest natty build.
However, it doesn't happen if you remove the bash-completion package.
That, combined with the different behaviour between "echo" and "cd"
suggests it's a problem in the directory completion somewher
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: bash
$ dir=/etc/
- $ cd $dir/ # does not work
+ $ cd $dir/ # does not work! :/
$ cd "$dir"/ # works i get
+ $ cd /etc/
$ echo $dir/ # this funnily enough does work i get
$ echo /etc/
What gives?
