Ok I understand now what is happening, the behavior have completely
changed in emacs-25 and is indeed more clever:

Say I am completing against "tv/".

Emacs-25:

tv/! => I get only the variables starting by "tv/".
(tv/! => I get only the functions.
(let ((fn 'tv/ => I get variables+function and functions are tagged at
                  end with <f>.
(let ((fn #'tv/ => Only the functions not tagged.

Emacs-24:

Put all, variables+functions all together and tagged at end with <f> for
functions as soon as "tv/" have no paren at start.

So the behavior of emacs-25 is now better than emacs-24, probably you
should close this (maybe it needs to be documented somewhere or it is
already and I missed it).

Sorry, but this needed to be clarified.

Thanks.
