> Hi, in some code for a scripting project I use `write-region' calls to (over)write data into files, from a temp buffer. This works fine, except that for reasons I won't go into, the file names involved have unusual file ending like "..Z", which causes auto-complete-mode to kick in, which is not good in my case.

You could disable auto-compression-mode around the call to
write-region.

Or you could remove jka-compr-handler from file-name-handler-alist,
while write-region runs.
