Hmm, unannounced Followup-To. Is that best current practice here in
gnu.*?

Do you mean C-q SPC?

It's most likely a bug in p-c-m. On the other hand, without p-c-m,
when you hit TAB twice after entered the full file name (e.g.
"(emacs)"), you first get "[Complete, but not unique]" and on the
second try "[No completions]". Maybe that's irritating p-c-m.
