I probably spent more time on word-completion than on pretty much any other part of minibuffer.el, so believe me I've thought about what is word completion and my understanding of it is embedded in the current behavior (which is very similar to partial-completion-mode's behavior). So, no I am not "de mauvaise foi", I really honestly do not understand how you want to interpret the above "definition" of word completion in the context of partial completion. There are many different ways to interpret it, probably. But none of them seem to match the behavior you seem to want in your example. So unless you explain to me what behavior you generally expect (at least with more examples), the only answer I can give you is "your word completion seem to dislike partial completion, so you'll need to disable partial completion", which your report said you did not consider as a good answer.
