> Shouldn't minibuffer-complete add a space after sole completions?

Depends in which context: for example when completing for `M-x` or `C-x
C-f`, adding a space at the end would be an error since with the space
it would not correspond to an existing command or file name any more.

So does Emacs too during completion of shell commands, AFAIK.
