(I'm not following this thread.)
It sounds like `completion-ignored-extensions'
is maybe being misused somewhere (?).
Maybe `vc-directory-exclusion-list' is relevant
for what you're wanting?
Its value is
("SCCS" "RCS" "CVS" "MCVS" ".src" ".svn" ".git"
".hg" ".bzr" "_MTN" "_darcs" "{arch}")
Documentation:
List of directory names to be ignored when walking directory trees.
You can customize this variable.

It's used as a regexp? So all of the entries
".<something>" match any non-newline char
before what <something> matches, instead of a
literal dot there?
Where do you see it used as a regexp?
