Those variables (plus -confirm) are let-bound by Emacs' own higher level completion functions, and I think it'd be cleaner if you did the same -- or just set your own my-completion-table and -predicate variables, since you're passing their values explicitly to all-completions anyway. In my case, only part of which I showed, it's actually appropriate to use setq, and I do (also) use my own my-completion-* variables. But what you say is a good general rule, and not just for minibuffer-completion-*, and not just when other code let-binds the variable.
