In the *Completions* case the empty buffer won't be temporarily
displayed (because there's no redisplay going on before it's filled).
The unprofessionalism doesn't bother me too much for M-x man, especially
since the current behavior is broken IMNSHO: it pops up a window
asynchronously, i.e. at a time you might be doing something else and not
expecting this disruption.
