Sadly, this is quite an important case.  Recently Spencer implemented
a way to deselect a candidate in the visible completions list
(minibuffer-visible-completions=t) when the user starts typing
in the minibuffer.  But then the user could change the mind
and still select a candidate.  This would interfere with the
contents of the minibuffer.
