I see your point, although this is an odd corner case.
I am still in favour of changing the argument to t so one gets implicit
completion of incomplete filenames. E.g. j in RET would jump to my
init.el if I am direding my .emacs.d.
Maybe completing-read could be used here, completing to all filenames in
the dired buffer? That's seems like a useful idea considering
virtual-dired and find-dired.
