I can reproduce the error this way:

1. Create a new buffer
2. M-x run-octave
3. M-x octave-mode
4. M-x completion-at-point a few times

I also tried with ggtags-completing-table and got the same error in 24.4

Both completion tables work well in 24.3.

Hi Leo,

This was related to a more general issue with
`minibuffer-completion-help', introduced in this commit:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=66c5fecc

I just fixed it.

Thanks,
