You mean to set `other-window-for-scrolling' to the *Completions*
buffer?  I think that's what the completions code should do.  But why do
you say that it "effectively breaks other-window scrolling for anything
else"?  IIUC a similar approach is used by `save-some-buffers' and seems
to work without problems.
