In my tests, the first TAB already brings up the completion you describe
(and doesn't signal any error).

Because these are functions defined in Elisp files available in
load-path, so they can be loaded (and you can subsequently call them)
even on GNU/Linux (at that point, they likely won't work as expected
because their implementation depends on underlying features only
provided by the w32 part of the C code).

In some unlikely hypothetical future, they could even be useful if we
can manage to build a GNU/Linux version of Emacs which links with Wine
to display w32 frames.

No,
