Clearly, with the current code base, adding "." is the
easiest solution.  You can also strip any final dot in the user's input,
so the odd final dot is only a temporary artifact in the minibuffer.

But you do have some good points about exit-function, which might
justify redesigning it, or providing some similar functionality in
completion-metadata.  But I need to think more about what that should
look like.
