I think so, yes.

I don't think so:
> /* If this is an exact match except for case,

> exact match. This way, we get the case pattern

This says that (try-completion "bah" '("bAh" "bahfoo")) should return "bAh"
> /* If there is more than one exact match ignoring case,
> and one of them is exact including case,
> prefer that one. */
This says (try-completion "bah" '("bah" "bAh")) should return "bah" rather
than "bAh", which also agrees with I said above (it should not return t).
> /* If there is no exact match ignoring case,
> prefer a match that does not change the case

This says that (try-completion "bah" '("bAhbar" "bahfoo")) should return
"bah" rather than "bAh".
