After looking at this again, I think this is a generic behavior of
PC-lisp-complete-symbol in partial completion mode; it happens even
outside the minibuffer, and the logic is that PC-lisp-complete-symbol
completes the part of the symbol before point. It's arguably true
that the alternative behavior you suggested is better, but I think we
should leave this alone, at least for now.
