Sorry; I misread your message.

I've now been following the completion code down the rabbit hole, and
via approx. 23 indirections, the completion is actually done by
`try-completions'.  And that respects the `completion-ignore-case'
variable.

However, TAB is bound to `completion-at-point', which does not allow any
way to have that variable be bound.  So I think we'll just have to bind
TAB to an erc function that binds that variable, and then call
`completion-at-point'.
