I'm no expert, but I think this is due to the fact that running M-x
partial-completion-mode just turns partial-completion-mode on in the
buffer in which you run in. Try reversing the order of steps 2 and 3.
I myself have been bitten by thiss. It is annoying. I wish there were
a global-partial-completion-mode, much as there is a
global-reveal-mode or global-hl-line-mode.

The same error, but if reversed the error is expected. In this current form, this reported error is a bug.

You are confused. partial-completion-mode is global.

Are you sure it's not a missing feature?

Why do you think it's a bug? Did it ever work for you? I doubt it. Partial
completion mode seems to replace minibuffer-complete-* with PC-complete-* in
the minibuffer keymaps but M-x gdba (and M-x gdb) uses read-from-minibuffer
with the keymap gud-minibuffer-local-map. TAB is bound to
comint-dynamic-complete-filename on this keymap which is why it doesn't work as
you expect.

We can say so. But it is sure that it is a feature that must me present as time as partial-completion-mode is active.

It reads a file name in fact, and because partial completion is on, when I press TAB after /g/e I expect to see /gnu/emacs, because in the root of my filesystem the only one directory that starts with 'g' is gnu, and the only dir. from /gnu is emacs et cetera.
I do not think that such a feature ever existed, so I think this is not a bug, just a missing feature.
