Strange, this looks like you have the substring completion style
enabled, which is normally not done by default. Maybe some additional
packages have done this for you?
Can you use C-h v completion-styles to check?
The default value is (basic partial-completion emacs22), and you can
read some explanations here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Completion-Styles.html
Reverting to the default value should bring you back to what you would
like.
You might also want to have a look at icicles, which is targeted at
customizing and enhancing minibuffer completion:
