I'm afraid it doesn't (tested with trunk/110646). The problem is that
`minibuffer-force-complete' uses `field-beginning' and `field-end',
neither of which returns a marker. So even if the original function
uses markers, at this point they are turned into absolute buffer
positions.

Wrapping both calls in `copy-marker' fixes the problem for me.
