This seems to not work correctly in some modes. Most notably in
emacs-mode. Local completion (lisp-completion-at-point) does not pass
the ball further on, when the completion is not found. It works in gnus
mail buffer though :)
This is a bug which I see even in today's pre-release. Will send a
report.
