FIGNORE makes bash only ignore filename completion results that end with

Yes. It requires a non-empty prefix and has since I first added it in
January, 1991 (based on an earlier contribution, so it's truly ancient).
Backwards compatibility is important, but I think it's also important to
look at the behavior of tcsh's `fignore', which is what this feature is
supposed to emulate.
It turns out that tcsh behaves like you propose, so your patch looks good.
