Yes, that makes sense. An alternative would be to make
minibuffer-completion-help itself do the (search-forward "\n\n" nil t),
which would seem to make more sense (e.g. minibuffer-completion-help is
the function that fills the buffer and presumably knows that this \n\n
exists and is it the right place, whereas switch-to-completions only can
assume that minibuffer-completion-help places a \n\n at the right place).
