This is unreproduceable for me in 4.8.21. Or your description is incomplete.

This bug is present on git. Just tested.

$ mkdir /tmp/test\\\ test
$ touch /tmp/test
$ mc
left panel: /tmp
right panel: /tmp/test\ test
copy test from /tmp to /tmp/test\ test

The autocompletion is still not working correctly for such file/dir names. But this is a task of another ticket.
