dummycmd test:test\:lol/<TAB>
dummycmd test:test\:lol/blargh (<= completion)

dummycmd test=test\:lol/<TAB>
dummycmd test=test\:lol/blargh (<= completion)

bash treats unescaped characters in $COMP_WORDBREAKS as boundaries for
completion

default $COMP_WORDBREAKS includes '=' and ':' (
https://github.com/bminor/bash/blob/142bbdd89e4d5bb62aea4469d1d2c24cf470afd8/bashline.c#L313
)

this is unrelated to bash-completion (non-builtin scripts)
