I'm assuming that's because of (setq completion-cycle-threshold t).

Apparently, that's because minibuffer-force-complete, called from 
minibuffer-force-complete-and-exit, somehow interprets it as a repeated 
invocation.

Maybe it should examine last-command and do something with it, instead 
of performing the completion-in-region voodoo it's doing now. Or 
minibuffer-force-complete-and-exit should call a non-cycling version.
