Reading completion-pcm--find-all-completions, it seems like the case 
where this wouldn't work is "The prefix has no completions at all ...".

What scenarios does this correspond to? If they are limited to the cases 
where the point jumps to a different field (and then completion has to 
be repeated), then maybe my patch would still be fine.

Otherwise, perhaps one of the other approaches is the way to go.
