It's not. Before, you hadn't mentioned fido-mode. As I told you, I
need to assess the priority of this bug, in terms of whom it affects and
to what intensity.

Obviously, I'm not disputing that in any way.

I'm sorry, but that's the only workaround I can think of. Bear in mind
that, when using fido-mode, you need to be aware of that shortcut anyway
in some situations where the text you want to input is not among the
completions. C-c C-w to write a new file would likely be the most
prominent example.
To summarize, I believe this isn't a very common case, and it is easily
circumvented with the workaround I gave you. I of course acknowledge
this bug report as a bug. Maybe you can try making a patch for Emacs
that fixes it and test it.
