This is inaccurate: at this point I see the following in the
minibuffer:

  Copy * [3 files] to: .../dest_tree/{d.txt | ./}

Obviously, "d.txt" is an incorrect guess, and what I actually want is
the second guess, "./".  So I type <RIGHT> arrow key, and that makes
"./" the selected candidate.

> 6. Type `Enter` to confirm.

After making "./" the selected candidate, this "does what I mean".

So I think Emacs works as expected here.  We cannot always expect
Emacs to guess what you mean with 100% accuracy.
