1. Emacs -Q
2. switch on partial completion mode.
3. M-:
Eval: (fo-ch <M-TAB>
=> (fo-char and the point position after fo.
Now press
Eval: (forw-char <M-TAB>
=> Eval: (forward--char
There are 2 -- instead of 1.

This is why it's a bad idea to add new features during a pretest, even
if it looks trivial.

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.
