complete/compgen fails to suggest when options contain ‘:’ (colon)

I’m failing to get complete to offer full suggestions when the options in ${COMPREPLY[@]} contain a : character. Instead, it only offers the prefix that is common to all suggestions.

Here’s an example that works fine:

_foo()
{
  local cur=${COMP_WORDS[$COMP_CWORD]}
  COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "bart baze" -- "$cur" ) )
}
complete -F _foo foo

And here’s how it is used (I never press Enter, only TAB where indicated)

$ foo <tab>
$ foo ba       <-- Autocompletes common prefix, good

$ foo ba<tab>
bart baze      <-- Suggests options, good

$ foo bar<tab>
$ foo bart     <-- Autocompletes the only option, good

But if I prepend something with a :, like http://, it fails to provide full suggestions (only the prefix common to all options):

$ _foo()
{
  local cur=${COMP_WORDS[$COMP_CWORD]}
  COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "h:bart h:baze" -- "$cur" ) )
}
$ complete -F _foo foo

$ foo <tab>
$ foo h:ba         <-- Autocompletes common prefix, good

$ foo h:ba<tab>
$ foo h:ba         <-- No effect

The manual suggests something about -I working with delimiters, but complete -I -F _foo foo doesn’t change anything.

If I inspect deeper, it seems to be with how complete -F interprets ${COMPREPLY[@]}. compgen seems to set COMPREPLY just fine.

$ COMPREPLY=( $(compgen -W "h:bart h:baze" -- h) )
$ for i in "${COMPREPLY[@]}"; do echo "$i"; done
h:bart
h:baze
