Start Emacs somewhere, e.g. in your home directory, and type C-x d
/usr.  The original part of the filename is not greyed out as it's
supposed to be with file-name-shadow-mode enabled, and if you press RET,
you get an error message:

Reading directory: no such file or directory, /home/sven/usr

Finding files with C-x C-f works correctly, though.

Yes, thank you (closing bug #173).  BTW, I just discovered your comments
on bug #153.  They missed me because

a) you did not CC me, and I am not subscribed to the Emacs bug tracker;

b) I did not even know that I submitted a bug report (it was just a
   question sent to emacs-devel, and you seem to have resent it to
   submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org).

I do quite like the latest completion code, but can imagine that other
people might find it a bit confusing.  Also, if a directory has no
non-trivial subdirectories, C-x d TAB completes to . and .., which is
probably less useful than immediately listing all possible file name
completions.

I believe this is now fixed as well,
