Apologies if I missed something - I didn't read your report in detail. But is
the behavior different from what you see with previous Emacs versions?
In particular, isn't this the normal behavior, assuming that ".elc" is in
`completion-ignored-extensions'? If this is in fact the problem, see the Emacs
manual, node `Completion Options', which includes this:
"When completing file names, certain file names are usually ignored.
The variable `completion-ignored-extensions' contains a list of
strings; a file name ending in any of those strings is ignored as a
completion candidate. The standard value of this variable has several
elements including `".o"', `".elc"', and `"~"'. For example, if a
directory contains `foo.c' and `foo.elc', `foo' completes to `foo.c'.
However, if _all_ possible completions end in "ignored" strings, they
are not ignored: in the previous example, `foo.e' completes to
`foo.elc'. Displaying a list of possible completions disregards
`completion-ignored-extensions'; it shows them all."
