The manual node "(emacs) Completion Commands" (9.3.2) says that

`<TAB>'
     Complete the text before point in the minibuffer as much as
     possible (`minibuffer-complete').

This is not true always. At the M-: prompt you have to use M-<TAB>.

I would prefer to also be able use <TAB> for completion there. However 
currently I think the manual should mention Symbol Completion here.
