Please report bugs using M-x report-emacs-bug.
It doesn't happen for me when I start emacs -Q on GNU/Linux.

Would you please supply a complete, self-contained test case?

To me emacs is installed in /gnu/emacs.
Please change /g/e/lisp/sub with the letters from your local path to emacs.

You might be using something akin to partial-completion-mode.
Please provide a problem report starting from emacs -Q so that others
have a chance to reproduce it.

I should have said <M-TAB> instead of TAB. With TAB it looks for path completion. With M-TAB it looks for elisp symbols. There is no sense I believe to look for elisp symbols in this case...

Ouf... What is so difficult to reproduce such a simple problem?
A. in shell:
1. mkdir -p /gnu/
2. ln -s <your-local-path-to your emacs installation> /gnu/
B. in emacs:
3. M-x partial-completion-mode <RET>
=> partial-completion-mode on
4. C-x C-f
Find file: /g/e/lisp/sub <TAB>
=> Find file: /gnu/emacs/lisp/sub
and a window containing verbatim this text:
Click <mouse-2> on a completion to select it.
In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point.
Possible completions are:
subdirs.el subr.el
5. SELECT WITH THE MOUSE subr.el
Result: emacssubr.el file is completed in Find file and opened.

Well, your step 3 was NOT mentioned in your mails about this
problem, so how were we to know?

Still doesn't fail for me.
I think it was fixed by this recent change:
2007-03-10 Martin Rudalics <rudalics@gmx.at>
* complete.el (PC-do-completion): Bind dirlength to nil to avoid
that buffer contents get erased during completion.
Another merit of using M-x report-emacs-bug is that it
includes the version and build-time of your Emacs.
But even if you have updated your emacs from CVS recently,
are you sure that complete.el has been byte-compiled?

Well, today (in this evening) I will recompile emacs and I will tell you if my error was just this one.
I compiled it 2 weeks ago, and maybe this patch was not included.

M-TAB should complete to a symbol, IMO. It is quite OK to have / in Lisp
symbol names.
Perhaps some special mode or library such as ffap might provide an option
for M-TAB to interpret possible file names (or URLs or...) instead of
symbols, but I think that M-TAB should simply complete symbols, by default.
