show-all-if-ambiguous inserts spurious backslashes

If you have "set show-all-if-ambiguous on" in your .inputrc, typing
this sequence in bash (in a directory containing some non-hidden files):

echo *<tab>

Results in the list of possible matches being displayed (as expected),
but the command line is then edited to:

echo \*

Which is probably not what the user wanted.
