If I modify octave-completion-at-point to allow (= beg end), i.e.

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


Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument numberp nil)
  zerop(nil)

  completion--do-completion(#<marker at 533 in *Scratch*> 533)

  ....
  completion-at-point()
  indent-for-tab-command(nil)
  call-interactively(indent-for-tab-command nil nil)
  command-execute(indent-for-tab-command)

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

Both completion tables work well in 24.3.
