Similarly, for an absolute file name, such as `c:/foo'. With point at the end (regardless of the absolute file-name text preceding point), the completion candidates are all of the files in the current directory, not files c:/. If I had to guess (and guessing is all that's possible - no help available, AFAICT), I'd guess that the text before point is ignored, so the empty input "" is completed in `default-directory', since no absolute file name is found _after_ point. Most unusual behavior, in any case. Wrt there being no help: There is a tooltip, but it says only this: "M-TAB: complete field; RET: enter value" Hardly helpful in trying to understand the complex completion behavior.
