In a Subshell you will probably receive an error when hitting TAB:

======================================================================
root@ucs:~# for i in $(cat /tmp/-su: Dateiende beim Suchen nach `)' erreicht.
-su: Syntax Fehler: Unerwartetes Dateiende.
----------------------------------or----------------------------------
root@ucs:~# echo $( ls bash: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `)'
bash: syntax error: unexpected end of file
======================================================================

This is an upstream bug at debian - see: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=742466
