Mmh, true.
Oh well, I guess that I'm the only one who wants this kind of behaviour,
so I just ended up with an advice which seems to do the trick. Sorry for
hijacking this thread. In case anyone is interested:
(defadvice completion-at-point
(after completion-at-point-complete-if-failed activate)
"Fallback on dabbrev if completion didn't do anything useful."
(unless ad-return-value
(dabbrev-expand nil)))
