I absolutely loathe it, so I have:

(keymap-set minibuffer-local-completion-map "SPC" #'self-insert-command)
(keymap-set minibuffer-local-completion-map "?" #'self-insert-command)

But I don't think this is something we can change at this point.

But I've now added this to the Minibuffer Edit node in the Emacs manual.
I don't think there's anything more to do in this bug report, and I'm
therefore closing it.
