Here's a short file:
(custom-set-variables
'(savehist-mode t nil (savehist))
'(tab-always-indent (quote complete)))
;; "info"
Call it foo.el, and start: emacs -Q -l foo.el foo.el
Then go down to the commented string, put point on the "i" of "info" and
press TAB. The string becomes "iinfo", and, with another TAB,
"idlwave-routine-info".
Without the savehist line in foo.el, the completion works as I'd expect:
it offers a choice of elisp symbols.
Why does configuring savehist-mode change this behavior?

Isn't that bogus? Why isn't it just
'(savehist-mode t)

I cannot reproduce this.

I don't know, but if I change it to the form you suggest it still
produces the same effect.

I'm sorry, I got the instructions slightly wrong: you have to put
point on the "n" of info.

If I erase the customization for savehist-mode in normal Emacs, and
then re-customize it, using M-x customize-variable savehist-mode RET,
and toggle to on, and then save it, then the line in my custom.el is:
'(savehist-mode t nil (savehist))
as I originally posted.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
I'm unable to reproduce this with Emacs 25.1 (or Emacs 28). Are you
still seeing this problem in recent Emacs versions?

I do love seeing your emails about old bugs pop up in my inbox!

I can't reproduce this bug in Emacs 27.1. Sounds like you can close it.
Thanks!

Thanks for checking; closing this report, then.
