I think at flet because there is no reason that the other part of the
code don't work. (but I may be wrong)
Just try M-x instead of C-x c M-x, type helm- and you will have your
completion.
The only thing that differ is there is no help with C-z in M-x.

Hmm! No, AFAIK there is no ignore-errors involved here.
