Meanwhile I purged the emacs-snapshot Ubuntu package and built Emacs
24.0.92 from sources, and I can confirm that this problem is gone.
The lockup issue is still there, but I have temporarily fixed it as
follows, following Thierry's idea:

(defadvice pcomplete-opt (around ensure-completions-pcomplete-opt)
  "Temporary fix of bug#10457."
  (or ad-do-it
      (throw 'pcomplete-completions nil)))

(ad-activate 'pcomplete-opt)
