Confirmed.

I don't get the error message, but a "*Choices*" buffer (because my
ispell-alternate-dictionary _is_ properly configured), but that buffer
shows hits for "String".  Here's a sample:

(0) /Usr/Dict/Web2:190067:String       (1) /Usr/Dict/Web2:190068:Stringboard
(2) /Usr/Dict/Web2:190069:Stringcourse (3) /Usr/Dict/Web2:190070:Stringend

etc. -- quite un-useful.  IOW, it _really_ tries to complete the word
"String", which is not what the user wants.

(Shouldn't the type of the widget be "file" instead of "string"?)
