No, I mean for lisp-completion-at-point.  I.e. I can't reproduce the
problem you show above.

I understand that.  But completion-at-point-functions does allow point
to be within the to-be-completed element (rather than only at its end)
and so a UI that wants to use it needs to take this into account (it
may for example elect to ignore the `end' and always use point instead).
