That's normal. Try C-x C-f / TAB TAB and you'll see that the leading /
is also "missing" in the *Completions* buffer.

It doesn't ignore the problem. It knows that (all-completions STR
TABLE) doesn't always return strings that have STR as a prefix and
spends a fair bit of effort handling it right.

Indeed, Company can't handle all completion-at-point-functions so far
because it assumes all completion tables are "simple", unlike
for example filename completion.
You can know how many chars are "missing" by calling
`completion-boundaries'. Ideally, Company should be extended to handle
this feature, but for now that can be handled in company-capf.
