Great, I'm therefore closing this bug.

There was actually one more small issue that I now fixed in commit
5e3b94e1bec - in case completion-preview-insert-word would just move
word without leaving anything inserted, it would still record an
unwanted undo operation (that just inserts and deletes everything again,
basically a no-op).  Now we avoid recording anything in buffer-undo-list
if we're only moving point.

Thank you for this nice contribution!
