I see...

Still the *line* is split correctly into two words (ls | tm"p/foo a
b") regardless of the presence of '"' in COMP_WORDBREAKS. Then
readline decides to complete the second word (tm"p/foo/ a b) in this
manner (ignoring the part before the quotes). So this is not really
pertinent to our original discussion...
