I don't know enough about Predictive to be able to
answer. :exit-function is called when the completion ends and gives
access to the choice made by the user, so it is sufficient to provide
some kind of feedback about which was the right choice. But there might
indeed be issues about exactly when the :exit-function is called, for
example, or how/when the choices are presented.

completion-at-point-functions is largely designed for the purpose of
completion-at-point, but it is not restricted to that; so do not confuse
the two.
