Thanks John,

The author of the package issued an update which allows for the mode to be enabled for user specified modes https://github.com/syohex/emacs-popup-complete/commit/0c5b7a4efc89fe12b30ea2996f157437d78b613e That serves my purposes. (advice-add ...) is a pretty sweet thing, I'd probably have gone for that if the package remained unchanged.
